They can't be together. They won't stay apart.

Marcus “Diesel” O’Shaughnessy is a brash, oversized CrossFit enthusiast with a naked lady tattooed on his rippling forearm. Jamie Prince is a private school teacher with an extremely low tolerance for bull.

The two men have zero in common. Well, except for three things: they’re both moonlighting as lifeguards for the summer; no matter how hard they try, they cannot stay away from each other; and they both have secrets they’re determined to keep.

What happens in the shadows of the Long Beach boardwalk can only remain hidden for so long. The July sunshine reveals the hot, unrelenting connection they never expected, forcing Marcus and Jamie to decide: are they simply caught up in a temporary heat stroke, or have they found something worth rescuing?
