Between college, surfing, and girls, Trent was living his best free-spirited life in Miami. He was careful not to let anything complicate that. So, when he met Kate, and they quickly became friends, he made sure to keep it that way. Better to play it safe than to risk losing her to a casual hookup. Kate was an independent girl who loved surfing, shopping, and partying with her friends. Her only hang-up in life was the hopeless crush she had on Trent. She couldn’t believe she had allowed herself to fall for the most unavailable guy she knew. But everything shifted when Caleb entered into her life. Kate embraced the distraction from Trent, and before she knew it, Caleb had swept her off of her feet. He was all she could think about, so much so, that she became blinded by his love. Trent knew something wasn’t right though, but when he expressed his concerns, he wound up pushing her away. The further she drifted, the more he could feel the lines between them blurring. And then one catastrophic night changed everything. —- Dive into E.K.

After Kate’s world had shattered into pieces, she pushed everyone away, including Trent, and hid. But she knew she couldn’t hide forever. So, in an effort to move forward, she built castle-strong walls to hide behind, walls that Trent had every intention of tearing down. Embarrassed and ashamed that her secrets were now out in the open, she was reluctant to let Trent back into her life. It was his refusal to allow her to continue to push him away that had her heart shifting in a way she wasn’t prepared for. Trent wasn’t prepared to feel the same shift in his heart either. No matter how hard they tried to resist each other, they eventually gave in to what they knew they could no longer deny. But neither of them could have predicted what happened next.
