A high school sophomore snags a last-minute opportunity as a lifeguard and decides to make a splash by winning the annual lifeguard competition.

“The perfect book for any girl who’s ever balanced sports with school, falling in love, and dreaming big.”—Jessica Mendoza, 2X Olympic Medalist, USA Softball
Nothing comes between a lifeguard and her beach.
Abby Berkeley’s friends have always spent their summers at the Beachwood Country Club, reclining in plush lounge chairs, sipping freshly-made lemonade, and gazing at the rock-hard abs of the club’s too-good-to-be-true bartenders. So when Abby gets a last-minute gig as a lifeguard at the club, it’s “bye-bye ice cream scoop-tress”—her previous summer job—and “hello summer at the beach.”
But Abby quickly realizes that life at Beachwood Country Club isn’t all buoys, whistles, and lifeguarding competitions. The club forces her to work a second (!) job at the snack bar, club members treat her with some serious ’tude, and—ohmigod—Brody Wilson, the gorge senior who broke Abby’s heart, is guarding the very same beach.
Another girl might forget why she pulled on her red swimsuit. But not Abby. She knows that it’s time to make a splash.
