She spends her days designing and making jewelry. He also makes things, although he's happier with wood. Are they destined to build a life together, or will his past get in their way?

MACIE
I've always loved sparkly things, being a bit of a magpie when I was a kid. Hours spent combing the sand, looking for beach glass, each discovery more exciting than the last. If I was as lucky at finding love as I am, the opaque beauties that litter the beach after a storm, my life would be perfect.

Then life hits me with my very own storm. The first time I see Brad McKenna he's out cold and naked thanks to my backhanding him with a tennis racket. What can I say? I thought he was a burglar. I also think he's as hard and gorgeous as any beach glass I've collected.

BRAD
By heading west, I had hoped to leave my old life behind, and I would have but for an appalling twist of fate. Having done my time, I should have been free to get on with my life, but my old crew has other ideas. Ideas that will leave me in danger of going back inside, something I want to avoid at all costs.

The one thing in my new life that I don't want to avoid is Macie Hart, having fallen for her even before she introduced me to her vintage Slazenger. There's something about her that has me thinking I can be a better man, an honest one, one able to leave his past behind for good.
