Valerie Harding is an excellent teacher and an even better sailor, in search of a suitable crew for the Juniper Island August Series. The problem is, she's got something of a reputation on island. Some call her arrogant, others consider her obstinate, and most everyone agrees-on the water, she's just plain scary.
Samuel Parsons is fun, flirty, and a friend of the family-just not Valerie. Despite having once cost her a trophy, Sam's eager to crew for the brazen beauty he calls "Hardcore Harding." And she has no choice but to take him on, although she won't take the nickname, too.
Will Valerie survive four weekends in close quarters with Sam? Can Sam make up for his earlier mistake? And as their shared attraction gathers like a storm on the horizon, will desire for one another prove stronger than the need to win?
The Best Crew is sporty and sexy, a romance that's ready for the beach.
