Katie Vaughn’s love life? Burned to ash. Her career? Hanging by a thread. So when she’s offered one last chance to save her job—profile a hotshot Coast Guard rescue swimmer in Key West—she takes it. One tiny issue: she can’t swim.
Enter Hutch. He’s gorgeous, grumpy, and maybe a little allergic to feelings. He’s also her subject—and her coworker’s brother. And did we mention he might be a card-carrying love hater?
Stranded in paradise with a tangled mess of lies, stolen kisses, and a Great Dane named after a rescue mission, Katie’s about to learn that pretending to keep it together is way harder than just… falling.
From New York Times bestselling author Katherine Center comes a swoony, sun-drenched rom-com about second chances, emotional bravery, and the very thin line between love and love-hating.
