When best-selling romance novelist Casey Warren is sent to California for research on her new book, she never imagined herself paired up with the real-life persona of her sexy main character. Jonah Coleman, surf shack and Tiki bar owner with a white knight complex, never believed when his friend and literary agent Becca Tomlin asked for a favor, that it would bring a quiet East Coast writer into his life. But as Casey becomes more engrossed with not only her writing but her budding romance with the gorgeous surfer/tour guide, things take a turn towards the dark. Casey begins to suspect a darker side to Surf City, and that suspicion focuses on not only Jonah, but his closest friends as well. Could one or more of them be hiding a terrible secret as the missing persons reports in the area begin to add up, or has Casey become the target of a vicious serial killer
