Maren Russo knows better than anyone that sometimes life knocks your crown right off your head. Her event planning business crumbled to pieces like rotted driftwood thanks to a bridezilla extraordinaire. Without an income, she can't keep her home or her daughter in college. She doesn't want to strain her recently renewed relationship with her sisters and ask for a loan. That leaves one option. Consider the most outrageous idea she's ever heard.

Shane Sutherland finds himself in desperate need of changing his bad image. If he doesn't, he will miss out on the opportunity to manage his dream baseball team. When his car crashes near Serenity by the Sea, he thinks he's found the answer to his problems. Too bad Maren thinks he's lost his mind.

Maren and Shane find themselves in a secret arrangement that drags up their unresolved past like nets on the ocean's floor. Telling lies to the people they love risks what they're working to save. Or will a few hidden facts get them everything they want—except true love and the truth?
