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

Charlie Sands has one rule: don’t fall for Greyson Steele. Ever. For the past twelve years, their friendship has been her safe haven—witty banter, midnight runs, and unspoken rules that keep her heart in check. But when a summer of career sabotage, meddling roommates, and a few too many margaritas throws them together in new and uncomfortable ways, Charlie’s not sure she can play it cool anymore.

Greyson has rules of his own, and at the top of the list? Protect Charlie. From the workplace bros who undermine her brilliance, from every surf dude who doesn’t deserve her attention, and maybe, just maybe, from him. But the more time he spends in her orbit, the harder it gets to ignore the truth: he might be breaking his own rule.

Set against the sun-kissed beaches of Southern California, California Promises is a witty, heartwarming closed-door romance filled with razor-sharp dialogue, irresistible chemistry, and the kind of friendship that dares to become something more.
