California Promises

When your best friend becomes the biggest 'what if' of your life.

Charlie Sands isn't interested in the Feminine Game, but her roommate Bex is determined to win it. The Summer Goal: Find husbands, get married by spring, and start having matching babies. It's a ridiculous plan, especially since Charlie's heart has been safely tucked behind a decade-long friendship with Greyson Steele, the hero firefighter who insists she's like a sister to him. 

Greyson Steele is ruggedly handsome, charming, and exactly the kind of man who makes a platonic friendship feel dangerous in all the right ways. For years, they've respected the rules, taken the friends label seriously, and managed to make each other feel safer than they have in years. 

But when they jet off to Maui for Charlie to star as a leading lady in an indie film, the Half-Foot Rule starts to feel like a mile-wide chasm. From the beaches of Del Mar to the waterfalls of the North Shore, Charlie and Grey must face their deepest traumas to realize that sometimes getting lost in friendship is the only way to be found.

In a flirty, friends-to-more romance about a brilliant, surfing tomboy and her anxious, fireman best-friend, Erin Spineto spins another "Inspiring tale of being just the right balance of strong and vulnerable." California Promises is a witty, heart-tugging friends-to-more romance perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez who want a little less heat.
