World traveler Maggie MacLean first laid eyes on Cooper in a crowded bar on the island resort of Bali six years ago.

Later, when Maggie’s pregnant by a man who wants nothing to do with their child, she puts her passport away and heads home to California to be the best mom she can be.
But when a possible career ending injury sidelines Cooper from his beloved waves, he moves in with the one friend he’s been able to count on. Maggie and Cooper have ignored the burn of attraction for six years. Maggie’s not willing to risk their friendship or her son’s heartbreak when Cooper inevitably leaves to compete, but what if this time Cooper stays and Maggie allows their second chance at love to flame?

The romance between Maggie and Cooper was tender, yet the two had plenty of chemistry. I loved reading about Cooper's relationship and interactions with Evan. This was a very sweet and enjoyable romance.
