"He's nothing like her dreams...and everything she wants."

Nyra's transition from college grad scrambling for her first career job to full independence is as on track as it can be, these days. Her new marketing job is going well, and even if she's still living at home, Nyra's pretty sure the light at the end of the tunnel isn't an onrushing train.

Still, she gets bored, sometimes. A whimsical decision to take up surfing brings her together with Tai Abrega, a professional surfer and shaper so delicious Nyra's imagination hasn't even gotten around to fantasizing about a man like him, yet. And surfing awakens a latent, mystical connection with the sea as strong as her driven passion for the man himself.

But emracing one possibility often demands abandoning another. How can Nyra fit Tai and the seductive siren song of freedom into her "safer" version of perfect? Can she blend her conventional world with Tai's freespirited lifestyle, or is she doomed to disappointment and heartbreak?
