After flunking Nationals, Serena is determined to prove herself to her family and ex-boyfriend by securing a spot on her college's elite swim team, with no choice but to ask her bitter rival and town heartthrob, Wesley, to train her.
***
Serena Murphy has always been the girl from the wrong side of the island, especially after her father abandoned her to build a perfect life with his new family. Determined to prove herself, she sets her sights on her college's elite swim team, but without a trainer, she doesn't stand a chance. That is, until a reckless bet leads her to one of the most high-demand coaches and her ex-boyfriend's rival, Wesley Pierce.
Serena and Wesley's late-night training sessions quickly become heated, and as Serena battles for her spot, old wounds resurface - her father's betrayal, her ex's new relationship with her high school bully, and Wesley's own family secrets. When tempers explode and fists fly, Serena is forced to ask herself: is Wesley just another rival or the only one who truly sees her?
Set against sun-soaked shorelines and stormy summer nights, Making Waves is a steamy sports romance about rivalry, redemption, and falling for the last person you should.

Their connection is instant, a spark that lights up the long summer days. But as the days drift by, the reality of their summer fling begins to settle in.

The beach, with all its beauty, becomes a symbol of the fleeting nature of their love. As the days grow hotter, so do the tensions. Noah, Liam's best friend, begins to show an interest in Sienna that neither she nor Liam expected, leading to an unspoken rivalry that threatens the bond they've only just started to build. Meanwhile, Chloe, Liam's ex, reappears, and with her return come rumors and complications that stir doubt in Sienna's heart.

The deeper they fall into their shared moments-surfing, laughing, stealing kisses in the sand-the more they realize how much they mean to each other. But can something this intense survive the inevitable end of summer, or will the drama and the complexity of their emotions be too much to hold on to? With every wave, every sunset, every stolen moment, they are left wondering: will their love survive when the season changes, or will they be swept away by the tide of summer's inevitable end?"**Complete
