Summary:
Nothing gets between Anne Marie and her board. Living in a beach shack with roommates Eden and Lena, they surf at dawn, work hard as a three-maid team at a local luxury resort, and surf again at dusk. The brutal schedule is necessary-since their mother bailed out, Anne Marie is raising her rebellious younger sister Penny alone. Emotionally, Anne Marie finds all she needs in the adrenaline-charged surf scene, plotting to conquer the waves and counting the days until the Pipe Masters surf competition. That is, until pro quarterback Matt Tollman comes along. Like it or not, Anne Marie starts losing her balance - and finding it - as she falls for Matt.
