A dazzling romance by USA TODAY bestselling author Sara Ackerman.Â
They say opposites attract, but are they meant to last?
âIwa Youngâs life is high in the Maui rainforest. As a field biologist, sheâs happiest in the company of trees and birds and waterfalls. When a developer arrives with plans for a so-called eco resort in the middle of a forest full of endangered species, âIwa puts all her energy into the fight to protect it. But a chance encounter threatens to distract her. His name is Dane Parsons, a big-wave surfer from California. âIwa has a few unbreakable rules, and at the top of her list: never date a surfer.Â
Dane is part of an underground group of big-wave riders, and his connection to the ocean runs deep. When he meets âIwa, he canât get her out of his mind. But âIwa wants nothing to do with Dane until he offers to help protect her beloved forest and waterfall. Always on the hunt for the ultimate ride, Dane suddenly glimpses something even greater.Â
In this thunderous love story, we travel deep into the Maui rainforest and hop across the globe from Hawai'i to California to Portugal, chasing waves the size of nine-story buildingsâwhere the unthinkable is always just one breath away.Â
