Book Two of the Cornish Lifesaver Series. (following on from Underneath The Surface) Mel truly believed she would never be happy again after losing her father and husband in a surfing accident. That was before a chilled-out lifeguard by the name of Jake Martins sped into her life, literally. From the day they met, it’s been nothing but a whirlwind of emotions for the pair of them and that isn’t going to change any time soon. With Jake’s jobs as a Lifeguard and volunteer Coastguard danger is never far away and both know how quickly the sea can change and put those you love at risk. Jake and Mel might hope they have found their happily ever after, but as people from their pasts start to rear their heads, the pair are pushed to their limits and all they can do is hold on to one another as they ride out the storm that is heading their way.

Surf instructor Mel Taylor knows better than anyone how dangerous the sea can be. She has experienced first-hand how quickly a calm morning surf can change your life forever. Lifeguard Jake Martins has dedicated his adult life to keeping the beaches of Cornwall safe. He’s made more saves than he can count and prides himself on being able to handle anything that is thrown at him. That is until he meets the feisty surf school instructor at his new post. This firey red-head beach babe may just be the one challenge that pushes the chilled-out Jake over the edge. From the moment they meet, Mel and Jake don’t get along. Each of them making it their mission to push the other’s buttons. All those around them can hope they don’t get caught in the cross-fire. But Jake soon realises there is more to the sassy princess than a fiery temper. There is pain and loss beneath the frosty exterior she hides behind. There’s a woman he would like to get to know better. Can Jake help Mel come to terms with her past and allow herself to move on from her loss? Or will Jake’s job put him in peril before he gets the chance to prove to Mel that there is such a thing as a second chance of love?
