Description
A heart-pounding love story that grips like a riptide, and doesn't let go...
Fifteen-year old Sam has moved from the big city to the coast - stuck there with his mum and sister on the edge of nowhere.
Then he meets beautiful but damaged surfer-girl Jade. Soon he's in love with her, and with surfing itself. But Jade is driven by an obsession: finding and riding a legendary huge wave no one has ever ridden.
As the weeks wear on, their relationship barrels forward with the force of a deep-water wave - into a storm, to danger ... and to heartbreak.
