“Splash.”
“That’s perfect. Splash Stanford. I love it. You’re going to make me cry again.”
Beckett swept out an arm. “How can you cry under a beautiful night sky like this, at the end of a perfect day, a sleeping baby in your arms?”
“It was perfect wasn’t it?”
“It truly is.”

Acknowledgments
Thank you to Isobel Dowdee for being my story editor, advisor, and for loving the story. I’m sorry it made you cry. Your thoughts and ideas made it better and better.
And thank you to Kevin for being my resident paddleboarding advisor. Watching you paddle from Catalina to Manhattan Beach inspired me to create this whole world.
And to my kids, for giving me the space and time and love to finish these labors of love.
And thank you to my mother, Mary Jane Knight Cushman, she was a hopeful soul and taught me if the waters rise to grab a paddle.
And finally, to my father, Dave Cushman, who taught me that any story, like life, is better with a punchline.
About me, Diana Knightley
I live in Los Angeles where we have a lot of apocalyptic tendencies that we overcome by wishful thinking. Also great beaches. I maintain a lot of people in a small house, too many pets, and a to-do list that is longer than it should be, because my main rule is: Art, play, fun, before housework. My kids say I am a cool mom because I try to be kind. I’m married to a guy who is like a water god, he surfs, he paddle boards, he built a boat. I’m a huge fan.
I write about heroes and tragedies and magical whisperings and always forever happily ever afters. I love that scene where the two are desperate to be together but can’t because of war or apocalyptic-stuff or (scientifically sound!) time-jumping and he is begging the universe with a plead in his heart and she is distraught (yet still strong) and somehow, through kisses and steamy more and hope and heaps and piles of true love, they manage to come out on the other side.
I like a man in a kilt, especially if he looks like a Hemsworth, doesn’t matter, Liam or Chris.
My couples so far include Beckett and Luna (from the trilogy, Luna’s Story). Who battle their fear to find each other during an apocalypse of rising waters. And, coming soon, Colin and Kaitlyn (from the series Kaitlyn and the Highlander). Who find themselves traveling through time and space to be together.
I write under two pen names, this one here, Diana Knightley, and another one, H. D. Knightley, where I write books for Young Adults. (They are still romantic and fun and sometimes steamy though, because love is grand at any age.)
