He left to travel the world for fame and glory, but only after spurning Gabby Ward and crushing her young heart. Now Hunter Markham has come back home to the sand and salty breeze of the North Carolina Outer Banks so he can open up Last Call, a beach bar nestled among the dunes of the Atlantic.
Gabby Ward is not happy that Hunter has returned. Bitter over his rebuff years before, she’s content to stay far away from him and his dangerously charming ways. Gabby’s well-schemed plans to ignore Hunter go up in flames when he presents an offer to her that she simply can’t refuse, throwing them together in a common quest to each reach their goals. Working together day in and day out proves to be problematic for Gabby, who soon realizes that the feelings she had for him are still very much alive.
Hunter struggles to reach through to Gabby’s cold heart, all while starting a new career away from his life as a top-ranked professional surfer. What starts out as a mutual business arrangement soon turns into a passion that neither of them can continue to deny. Hard choices lay ahead for both of them when Hunter is offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to return to the pro surfing tour. Choices that could destroy what they have built or take them further than they ever had dared to hope.

You Might Need a Drink To Get Thru This I kept waiting for this book to get better. It started out with high school drama and continued on. There was a lot of sex — which isn’t a bad thing — but a relationship should not be based on hot sex. That is not love — that’s lust. Yes I get they have known each other all their lives but just because you grew up together doesn’t mean you really know each other. There was no real conversation between Hunter & Gabby — just constant boning. Gabby was not a very likeable person IMO. She was…
