He's sworn to protect her like a sister. Too bad his heart never got the memo.
Seven years ago, Logan Mason watched Maya Torres get dragged out of the stands by her drunk father-while the head cheerleader, Alexandria Caldwell, whispered she'd never be good enough for him.
Now he's the town's golden boy turned mechanic-slash-football coach, and she's still the one person he can't stop wanting... even if she's off-limits.
Maya's barely keeping her head above water, working at Annie Mason's art studio, dodging her father's shadow, and dealing with Alexandria's constant digs that she's a charity case. The last thing she needs is Logan offering to "fix" things.
But in a small coastal town where storms roll in fast and gossip moves faster, you can only dodge the truth for so long. And when protecting her means stepping over every line he's drawn... Logan will have to decide if following The Mason Way means keeping his distance or fighting for the girl he's always wanted.
