Emma James is on a mission to rebuild her life after the loss of her husband. When her childhood friend offered an innocent getaway to Santa Monica, she accepts thinking fun in the sun will be a great way to start fresh. Retired professional skateboarder, Ryan Cross is a gorgeous, lovable, ladies' man. With two skateboard parks and a fat bank account, he's on top of his game. What could make him happier? The love of his childhood friend. Chaos and life-threatening obstacles have Ryan investigating Emma's husband's death. When he discovers handwritten notes made by her late husband, he learns some friends can't be trusted. They will stop at nothing to get what they want, including putting Emma's life in danger. About the author: As a child, she entertained herself for hours playing pretend, but not with dolls and such. She created stories and pictured them in her mind, sometimes even acted them out. Her well preserved secret until now. Not being a literary enthusiast, she never thought her childhood pastime would lead in this direction. In life, one door closes and another opens, so she was told. This was true for her. She lost her mother, her best friend, to cancer. After a year without her, she picked up her mother's favorite hobby... reading. After one book, a romantic suspense, she was hooked. In the past, she'd fall asleep after a few minutes of reading. Now, books rank up there with a good red wine. It didn't take long for her childhood muse to come back in adult version urging her to put the scenes in her head on paper. Cait's debut novel, 'Kidnapped Hearts,' won awards in the categories of Best Happily Ever After and Best Suspense.
