Because karma is kicking my ass in this one.

Everything was copasetic. I was coasting on the wave of life… until a gnarly swell pulled me under, and I washed ashore to a nightmare. A nightmare there was no waking from.

So I packed my shit and moved all the way to the other side of the country—to the only place someone was willing to give me a second chance.

I came to swim, and though I’m on the team, I don’t want to be Elite. These bros are exactly like the ones I left behind, and I’m not stupid enough to get betrayed again.

But then karma shows up and laughs right in my face.

I slept with my coach’s daughter.

Because of course I fucking did.

And though she calls to me like a siren, that night was just a distraction. A one-time thing.

Until she shows up at Daddy’s pool as the assistant coach. Now the very girl I can’t get off my mind is the one just declared off-limits.

Naturally, my heart decides it can’t beat without her jade stare, sassy mouth, and car that cruises so slow it uses a calendar as a speedometer.

Now I’m at the top of Coach’s shit list, and everything I left in Cali comes knocking at my door. With Landry’s safety on the line, I won’t just roll over and take it. This time, I’ll put up a fight.

There’s no telling what I’ll do or how far I’ll go to make sure Landry isn’t punished for standing by my side. When things get dangerous, I know this wildcard can’t play this game alone.

Because even if trusting people doesn’t come easy… loving her does.
