Surf, Sea and a Sexy Stranger (Modern Heat) by Heidi Rice

Her legs shook, trembling uncontrollably as she struggled to lock her knees. She squinted through the stinging salt, saw Luke’s dark blond hair plastered to his head. She pushed the panic down and kept going.Īfter what seem like several millennia, a large hand grasped her arm and hauled her upright. The shore seemed a million miles away, her legs so rubbery she could barely move them, her chest screaming with the effort to draw a decent breath. It took Maddy a moment to orientate herself, then she paddled furiously, riding the swell as she clung to the stranger’s prone body. They surfaced together, breaking back into the heaving sound and fury of the angry sea. She fisted her fingers on the rescue board, her cheek pressed against his torso and kicked hard. She shoved his surfboard free and wrapped her arm across him just as the wave crashed on top of them with a deafening roar.įor a split second fear froze her as the wave sucked them down. She heard a groan, as blood seeped from the surfer’s hairline, and flowed over his sculpted cheekbone. She grappled with the velcro strap attaching his ankle to his board as a five-footer barrelled down on them.

Reaching him at last, she shoved the rescue board under his torso. She redoubled her efforts, fighting the churning water, the distance telegraphing as her arms and shoulders began to ache and her legs numbed. A vivid red stain stood out against his pale cheek. Luckily the injured surfer wasn’t too far out, the waves bearing him towards shore, but as the salt water scoured her eyes and she drew ragged breaths trying to conserve her strength, she saw him move his head. Within seconds, the tug and pull of the tide had drained her energy and she was riding the board through the waves on autopilot. The rescue board torpedoed Maddy into the rising swell as she went under.
