She was always the girl who got away ... and she has a shameful secret she's desperate to keep hidden.

When fate brings them together again after twelve years at the same destination SEAL wedding on the Florida Gulf Coast, they find that the flame of their long-lost love is still there. But can it survive the out-of-control passion as they travel the gauntlets of forbidden love, guilt, and regret?

Navy SEAL Damon Hamblin crashes into a sleepy Florida Gulf Coast town to drown his sorrows and just fade into the background, where no one knows him and he can drink, surf, and lay out on the beach until his insides heal. The last thing he wants is to rebound into another relationship.

Martel Long fled to Sunset Beach five years ago to visit a friend, and never left. She's tried to forget the man who broke her heart back home and had been doing a good job of it until she comes face to face with him at a Bachelorette party for her best friend at a local beach bar.

You won't want to miss this emotional second chance romance as sparks fly and old wounds are torn open, threatening to destroy them forever.

The white sugary sands at Sunset Beach just might help to heal a beautiful love story that could have been and will be again.
