♦♦Synopsis♦♦


Dean "DeBaz" Bazner is a Professional Surfer, private about his past and quiet about his future. Like any famous professional athlete he's got the talent and sponsors, but he hasn't clinched a World Title since his rookie year. Now in his thirties, with a career clock ticking, he's pushing his limits to get to number one again. When a travel writer named Azure Thomas is assigned to observe his journey between events, what seems like a dangerous diversion, both in and out of the water, forces him to accept that there's more missing from his life than another trophy. She doesn't know anything about surfing. She doesn't drool over his celebrity. And she sure as hell doesn't ask others to haul her crap around. Azure Thomas has been taking care of herself for most of her thirty years, and this is just another assignment in the changing world of freelance journalism. What she doesn't expect is an athlete who relates to her profound loss and has sacrificed everything except his soul to get to the top of his sport. Dean is more than the hot surfer splashed across magazines and surfing is more than a hobby. Is it possible that what she can't live without is chasing the next big swell?



The Book Fairy Reviews's Reviews

DeBaz is going for the championship, a surfers dream. Dean, is a professional. Ranked number 3 he is going for the top rank in the world.

Azure is a free lance reporter assigned to cover Dean's travels to get to the top. Little do both of them know that meeting each other would be like catching the ultimate wave.
This story is beautiful because you have a woman that is not confident doing a job where confidence is key to getting what you want and a guy who has all the confidence for both of them. 
Their relationship will take on one hell of a ride as the navigate each others issues and find that they are better together.
I loved Dean, he is charismatic and sexy swagger and of course he is HOT!!!
Azure is much like me I guess not really sure of herself but trying to make out in the world where there are plenty of good looking men but yeah none are looking at you. Were friendships are hard to come by and never easy to let in. Dean cracks all of her barriers and shows her who she really is both from the outside and the inside.

♦♦About the Author♦♦

A.L. Goulden Pic 

 I'm a designer, author, wife and dog-lover living in the South Pasadena area of California. I got my BFA in Film Production from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, but my love of a good story came way before college. I remember writing my first full story in fifth grade on a typewriter. I cut and pasted it into a book, complete with cardboard cover and taped binding. Things have changed a lot since then. With the magnificent digital age I can produce books and give them to the world without a sticky mess.
In college numerous instructors and peers praised my dialogue pushed me to hone my storytelling skills. Of course the need to cut and paste was still there, so I went into the world of Production Design and Art Direction for films and television. It gave me the ability to connect design to storytelling in a way that no other career can. The past 18 years have spun a unique perspective on visually emotional tales of relationships and the thread that ties all things together. Now I'm shifting focus on the driving force that brought me here... stories. I hope that I can share a unique perspective on life, love and the pursuit in all of the above
