A nasty break up after being cheated on is a crappy way to start the year. What’s worse? Her ex and his new girlfriend are on Daniela’s swim team. If she wasn’t so against showing she cares about anything, she’d drown him in the pool. This is what she gets for dating teammates. But Daniela never admits defeat in anything – both in and out of the pool. Enter Heath Belfort; a captivating and stupidly handsome local surfer. . . and her ex’s biggest swimming rival. Heath smiles through her ex’s jabs and beats him in every race. So, what better way to get revenge than to fake date the one person her ex hates most? Heath’s up for the challenge . . . on one condition: Daniela agrees to tutor him so he can pass his history class. Private lessons and staged kisses are just fine with her, but can anyone make it out of a fake relationship unscathed?
