Summer By the Sea — Cathryn Parry

Sometimes even lifeguards need saving…

Lifeguard Sam Logan is always cool under pressure. But his laid-back nature is put to the test when his daughter begrudgingly comes to live with him for the summer. Luckily, his new neighbor, Silicon Valley tech guru Sarah Buckley, agrees to mentor her. In return, Sam teaches Sarah some much-needed meditation.

Brash and self-centered, Sarah is not the best influence for eleven-year-old Lucy. Yet Sam can't deny he's attracted to Sarah's drive -- and the vulnerability she starts to show him. It's no secret that at the end of her sabbatical, Sarah is heading back to California. So why does this feel like more than just a summer fling?
