"She loved him, and he loved her. But it's never that simple."

Isla and Rhys have been best friends for years. Bonded by early mornings at the beach, shared surf sessions, and the kind of effortless intimacy that makes everyone around them assume they're together. Then Isla meets Lachlan, the beach lifeguard who watches over the stretch of coast where she and Rhys surf. Isla is alone by the water one afternoon, and Lachlan is the one who comes to accompany her. What begins as a flirty interaction quickly becomes attraction. He's confident, attentive, and looks remarkably like Rhys. For the first time, Isla finds herself dating someone who seems to have the qualities she has always been drawn to in her best friend.

Caught between the safety of a lifelong friendship and the intoxicating possibility of something new, Isla must decide whether love is about finding the right person, or finally having the courage to choose the person who has been beside her all along.
