Twenty-one-year-old Natalia Stolfi is saying good-bye to the
past-and turning her life upside down with a trip to the
land down under. For the next six months, she'll act like a
carefree exchange student, not a girl sinking under the
weight of painful memories. Everything is going according to
plan until she meets a brooding surfer with hypnotic green
eyes and the troubling ability to see straight through her act.
Bran Lockhart is having the worst year on record. After the
girl of his dreams turned into a nightmare, he moved back
home to Melbourne to piece his life together. Yet no amount
of disappointment could blind him to the pretty California
girl who gets past all his defenses. He's never wanted
anyone the way he wants Talia. But when Bran gets a stark
reminder of why he stopped believing in love, he and Talia
must decide if what they have is once in a lifetime . . . or
if they were meant to live a world apart.
