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


It is much easier for Charlie Sands to hide behind the lie she’s told herself since the day she met Greyson: a guy like that could never love a fiery tomboy like her.


Greyson Steele knows, no matter how often his mind drifts towards wanting more from his best friend, she deserves a guy who can keep up with her lightning fast mind. And that guy would never be him.


When they both start blowing past the walls they’ve erected over the years, they may just upend everything they believe about the difference between friendship and love.


In an angsty, friends-to-lovers romance about a brilliant, surfing tomboy and her anxious, fireman best-friend, Erin Spineto, author of Islands and Insulin, spins another “Inspiring tale of being just the right balance of strong and vulnerable.” 


You’ll love the hilarious, double-dating summer goal, breezy escape to the beaches of San Diego and Maui, and fantastic group of friends. California Promises is the first in the Warrior Women Series, a RomCom series full of female surfers who happen to have diabetes and other autoimmune issues and the men who are strong enough to be with a warrior woman.


This is an #ownvoices story for its portrayal of type 1 diabetes by an author with type 1 diabetes.

About Me

ERIN SPINETO, author of Islands and Insulin, started surfing at age five when she stood up on her boogie board and realized waves were so much more fun to ride standing up. Since then she has had a love affair with empty beaches, warm water, and a post-surf lunch of fish tacos and Diet Dr Pepper eaten on a patio in the sun with her own real life hero, Tony, and their two surfing teenagers.
