Christella Ortiz left Crestwave Bay two years ago after Ade Fletcher stood her up on their anniversary, choosing the waves over the dinner she had planned. She built a successful life as a destination wedding planner in Chicago and swore she would never return.
When her cousin Sofia asks her to plan a beach wedding back home, Christella cannot refuse. The best man is Ade-now a local surf legend running his own school and dating the free-spirited Lila. Forced to work side by side through sunset ceremonies, surf lessons, and family gatherings, old chemistry and unresolved pain rise to the surface.
As the anniversary of the night that broke them approaches, jealousy, regret, and lingering love collide. A chance connection with Mateo, a charming newcomer, offers Christella a lighter path forward. But the pull between her and Ade refuses to fade.
In a town of golden sunsets and long memories, Christella and Ade must decide if they can forgive the past and choose each other before the light disappears.
A steamy, emotional second-chance beach romance about healing, growth, and the love that still waits beneath the waves.
