Former junior surfing champion Asher Franklin faithfully follows the life advice left to her in a video message from her late mother Jules. Jules's advice, which transformed Asher from tracksuit worshiping tomboy to bona fide glamazon, includes dating rules guaranteed to land the perfect man.
Ex pro surfer Billy Jarvis is not that man. Sexy as hell, but bouncing off rock bottom, Billy is everything Jules warned her against. Asher is determined to resist him but when her family pressure her to enter a charity surfing competition, fear of humiliation forces her to accept Billy's offer to coach her.
As the flame of her competitive spirit reignites and her feelings for Billy grow, Asher begins to question the motherly advice that has shaped her. But breaking the rules means facing all that she's lost by following them. With her heart and future on the line, Asher must decide whether it's finally time to stop living by Jules's rules-and start living by her own.
