This Could Be Home

Warning: No lifeguard on duty for your heart.

Laurie Greenfield has been chasing the ocean ever since it nearly took her under. Becoming a lifeguard on Oahu's beautiful North Shore isn't just a dream—it's proof she's stronger than her past. She's ready for the waves. She's not ready for Tristan Chipman.

Tristan lives by discipline, control, and rules. As one of Ocean Safety's most respected lifeguards, he's seen exactly how dangerous the ocean can be, and how quickly everything can be lost. He's spent years locking down his heart after tragedy shattered his world. Training Laurie is a mistake. Falling for her is worse.

He pushes. She pushes back harder. And somewhere between demanding drills and high-stakes rescues, the tension snaps. Sunrise workouts ignite into stolen kisses. Crashing waves give way to breathless nights. Laurie can face the ocean, but loving Tristan? That's a different kind of risk. When the past resurfaces and threatens to drag them under, Laurie and Tristan face an impossible choice: walk away...or dive headfirst into romance that could either destroy them or finally set them free.
