The Lifeguard

Regina Hartley has had enough. The demands of life have taken a toll on her, and, no longer feeling equipped to endure the strain, she decides to end it all in watery surrender.

But instead of drowning to death, she finds herself being revived on shore by a concerned, handsome stranger, and after saving her, the stranger refuses to leave her alone.

She realizes that she doesn’t mind his attention so much, and she finds herself more interested in what else life has to offer overall. But after saving her spirit, will the handsome stranger eventually disappear?



Gabriel is in the right place at the right time. He pushes everythingâ€"even his own lifeâ€"aside when he notices a damsel in distress, and then pulls her lifeless body to shore. To his relief, the beauty resuscitates, and he is compelled to stay with her, convinced she shouldn’t be left alone again. She accepts his offer of friendship, but will it help save her? Or will she decide to slip away from everyone’s grasp once again?
