Katie Vaughn has been burned by love in the pastnow she may be lighting her career on fire. She has two choices: wait to get laid off from her job as a video producer or, at her coworker Coles request, take a career-making gig profiling Tom Hutch Hutcheson, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer in Key West. The catch? Katies not exactly qualified. She cant swimbut pretends that she can.

Plus, Cole and Hutch are brothers. And they dont get along. Next stop: paradise! But paradise is messier than it seems. As Katie gets entangled with Hutch (the most scientifically good-looking man she has ever seen . . . but maybe a bit of a love hater), along with his colorful aunt Rue and his rescue Great Dane, she gets trapped in a lie. Or two. Swim lessons, helicopter flights, conga lines, drinking contests, hurricanes, and stolen kisses ensuealong with chances to tell the truth, to face old fears, and to be truly brave at last.
