Never quite able to live up to his own expectations, Coop is enraptured with Lea, inside and out. He falls in love with her past and craves a shared future, but she won't accept help from anyone. Let alone him. A scorching weekend of surf-n-sex arouses Lea's long dormant emotions and has her questioning what true freedom means. The intensity of Coop's lovemaking and the weight of his desires speak to a vulnerable spot in her soul she'd rather deny. So she sets a timeline for a "hot sex only" relationship. Coop has failed himself over and over and senses in Lea his long-awaited mate. Winning her reluctant heart and making her body throb for him becomes a race against the clock in the most urgently passionate fight of his life.
