1. find surfboard, beach and hot instructor
2. learn to surf (six weeks should do it)
3. avoid imagining surf instructor without a wet suit
4. relax, and become one with the beach
5. return to work as ultradriven ad exec . . . and surf queen extraordinaire

Allison Robbins needs to relax. Sure, she's a little career-driven -- what girl isn't? But then the little knot in her stomach turns into full-blown panic attacks, and under doctor's orders Allison has to find a nice, physical hobby.

Like any good California girl, she decides to take up surfing. She's even commandeered the services of surf instructor Sean Gilroy -- just the guy to teach Allison's uptight self how to chill. But aside from being unsettlingly cute in a wet suit, Sean lives the typical surfer lifestyle -- casual, laid-back and entirely certain that things will take care of themselves . . . the polar opposite of Allison's world of stress, coffee and more stress.

If only she didn't have to go back to work. Ever.
