In over His Head
Lexie Webster needs a fling—badly. She’s not looking for a relationship—her former fiancé, a daredevil with a death wish, cured her of that! But that doesn’t mean she has to live like a num, either. Especially since her newest client, sexy Josh Maynard, is inspiring some very impure thoughts… Rodeo star Josh Maynard is hanging up his spurs to fulfill his lifelong dream—learning to sail. Only, he never dreams he’ll end up in over his head before he even starts! Because it’s obvious his new sailing instructor, Lexie Webster, has an agenda—to seduce him right out of his swimsuit and Stetson! And he’s more than willing to go along with her. Especially when he realizes that he wants more than just a quick dip…
Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Romance, Fiction. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

A more thoughtful way into this book
This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.
Works well for a focused weekend or a few concentrated sittings.
Begin with its place in Romance, then notice where the book resists that label.
Read for connection, not completion.
Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.
Three questions to carry with you
- What must each character learn before the relationship can become believable?
- How do work, family, friendship, or identity shape the central relationship?
- Does the emotional resolution feel earned by the choices that came before it?
