Marcus “Diesel” O’Shaughnessy is a brash, oversized CrossFit enthusiast with a naked lady tattooed on his rippling forearm. Jamie Prince is a private school teacher with an extremely low tolerance for bullshit. The two men have zero in common. Well, except for three things.
They’re both moonlighting as lifeguards for the summer.
No matter how hard they try, they cannot stay away from each other.
And both of them have secrets they’re determined to keep.
But what happens in the shadows of the Long Beach boardwalk can only remain hidden for so long, before the July sunshine reveals the hot, unrelenting connection they never expected, forcing Marcus and Jamie to decide if they’re simply caught up in a temporary heat stroke or if they’ve found something worth rescuing...

My Review
I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.
Marcus has a crush on Jamie. He's had a crush on him from pretty much the moment he met him. But he's confused. He's straight. Or at least he thinks he is. Jamie has always thought of Marcus as a pain in the butt. He likes to get in Jamie's way and always makes a point of making sure their lifeguard chairs are next to each other. But Jamie senses that Marcus is confused about his sexuality and thanks to a past incident, he is not about to help him figure things out. But Marcus is persistent and manages to wear Jamie down and the two end up spending some time together. And that is when everything changes.
Holy cow. Y'all, Marcus and Jamie are everything! These two couldn't be more different, but together they just work. You can't help but love Marcus. He sees the world in a very simple way and Jamie appreciates that. He probably thinks too much about everything and being around Marcus is just easy.
Tessa Bailey is originally from Carlsbad, California. The day after high school graduation, she packed her yearbook, ripped jeans and laptop, driving cross-country to New York City in under four days.
Her most valuable life experiences were learned thereafter while waitressing at K-Dees, a Manhattan pub owned by her uncle. Inside those four walls, she met her husband, best friend and discovered the magic of classic rock, managing to put herself through Kingsborough Community College and the English program at Pace University at the same time. Several stunted attempts to enter the work force as a journalist followed, but romance writing continued to demand her attention.
She now lives in Long Island, New York with her husband of eleven years and six-year-old daughter. Although she is severely sleep-deprived, she is incredibly happy to be living her dream of writing about people falling in love.
