Katie Vaughn tells herself sheβs focusing on her career producing corporate promotional videos and working on loving herself. The reality is that sheβs burrowed into an isolated rut to recover from a devastating and demoralizing breakup that rocked her already fragile self-image. Now to top off her year, her job is in jeopardy when the owner of her company declares imminent restructuring i.e. massive layoffs.Β

Her coworker Cole offers for her to take over a contract that could show her talent and save her job. Β Film a promo in Key West for the United States Coast Guard featuring rescue swimmer Tom βHutchβ Hutcheson. A rescue swimmer who refuses to give any interviews after a video where he rescued a celebrityβs dog went viral. The problem is that he expects his estranged brother, Cole, to come do the video. Oh, and she failed to reveal she doesnβt swim, a necessary part of the job.Β

Katie is pushed out of her comfort zone as she stays with and is befriended by Cole and Hutchβs eccentric Aunt Rue, her friends, and a rescue Great Dane who is afraid of thunder and likes to run at her full speed. Add in a fake dating situation, the devastatingly handsome Hutch teaching her to swim, and a hurricane to further complicate her visit. Β A fast-paced read with fun well-written characters and a sweet (very) slow burn.Β
