Hollywood starlet Willow Avery is out of rehab, with only one chance left to redeem herself before she's officially on every director's crap list. At least, that's what her parents and her agent are claiming. She doesn't really give a damn if she ever makes another movie-she just wants to get on with her life, get back to her friends, and find her next escape.

But Willow is broke, and whether she likes it or not, acting is the only job she knows how to do. When she accepts the lead in a new beach drama, Willow finds herself in Hawaii. And in Hawaii, she finds Cooper, the gorgeous Australian surfer who's been hired to train her for her new role. With the bluest eyes she's ever seen and the sexiest accent she's ever heard, Cooper's different from the men she's used to. He doesn't want to use her. And he refuses to let her fail.

But when an old friend re-enters Willow's life-a friend whose toxic presence reminds her of the painful memories and deadly habits she's tried so hard to suppress-Willow will have to choose between the girl she was and the person she's becoming…or she may lose the man she's falling hard for.
