She came to forget the past. He's one mistake she can't stop remembering.

Andrea Waller isn't visiting Southern California for second chances. She came for sun, surf, and to enjoy a no-strings escape from her past until her sister's wedding. But when a housing snafu lands her directly across the hall from maddeningly hot Marine Greer DeAngelo-another reminder of all her disappointments-sparring with him becomes the most thrilling rush of all, and soon Andrea finds herself breaking and entering just to get closer to the excitement.

When Greer learns the truth about their one night together, he's determined to make it right. He left his screw-up reputation back in New York when he joined the Marines years ago, and he's not about to let his nosy family or a feisty ICU nurse change his game-or his reliable no-relationship dictum. But when a sizzling bet leads to shared secrets, undeniable chemistry, and unexpected friendship, Greer starts bending all his own rules.

What begins as fun competition with practical winnings soon blurs the line between challenger and friend. As their time together ticks away, can two people who've sworn off love forgive the past to take a risk on each other?

Witty, steamy, and emotionally addictive, this slow-burn romance will have you rooting for love, redemption-and one scorching-hot rematch.
