Welcome to Red Ridge, where the water is warm, the weather is hot, and the relationships are slow-burning. Reed Langley is a smart girl, but she tends to lose her common sense when Farris Matthews is in the same room as her. The problem is that this is often the case, seeing as they're best friends. She was warned against being friends with the bad boy, but nobody can deny that he loves to be around her. She wanted a bad boy who is good for only her, and she got one. But she wants more, and she's starting to realize that she can't get it from him. Charlotte Alexander has everything she wants. Almost. Maybe it's 'the chase' or maybe it's just insta-lust, but she's wanted Alexander Thompson since the day she met him and he happens to be the only guy who doesn't seem to want her, but she's not planning on giving up any time soon. Maddison Kingsley is a fighter. But usually, she finds herself fighting to be alone, so her new inclination to fight to be close to someone so different confuses the hell out of her. Aaron Alexander apparently knows who she is, or maybe it's just her reputation that he's heard of, and she finds herself wanting a chance to show him that she's not who they say she is. Lucy Kennedy is the new girl on campus, and she's painfully aware that she's only there for soccer. She almost decides to give it up entirely until someone convinces her to stick with it in order to continue doing what she loves. She quickly develops a confusing crush on a friend, trying desperately to untangle her thoughts and feelings before she loses all that she has.

Caden Miller. Hot, cynical, and notoriously labelled the bad boy of Crestmont High. Attention-seekers flirt with him. Idiots fight with him. The ones who know what's good for them, stay away from him. If you fight him, you know you'll lose soon. Short-tempered, mysterious, and those oh-so-hot looks. All of that was enough for a person to fall head over heels for him. If only he cared to give a shit about them. Not when he was also the youngest gang leader in New York City, with just one mission in mind: stop his equally cynical brother from ruining his life more than he already had. Skylar Anderson. Not a nerd. Or a cheerleader. All she cares about is her workaholic (and maybe even a little dysfunctional) parents, her adorable cat and her not-so adorable best friend, and her sleep.

Until she receives a letter in her mailbox... ...and that normal, carefree life goes right above the clouds. . . .

Anyways, it didn't matter, for her illness was getting better and she could finally get back to school. Sophomore year. Gosh. She could finally be a normal teenager. Then she saw "him" in the school hallways. The boy. Although he seemed different, less warm, more cold. It was like he put up a façade and barricaded his true self.

His self destructive tendencies fail to work on her and eventually start to fade as he learns how to accept love and grow to love others.
