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.

Carly Atwood always remembered the man that used to live in the loft above the barn when she was a little girl. John was her childhood crush, he was the guy she wrote about in her diary, and when he left her in his army greens, he was the first man she ever cried for. Nine years later, Carly isn't the eleven year-old girl John left behind. She grew up and moved on with her life, taking over the Atwood Ranch following her father's death. John isn't the man he used to be either; physically and emotionally scarred following his last deployment in Afghanistan, John is returning to the only place he ever called home, back to the loft above the barn and to the pretty blonde girl that's been holding onto his dog tags for all these years. ----- Title inspired by the song of the same name by Tim McGraw.

"Seth?" He walked to the door and paused. "Yeah?" He murmured, hand poised on the knob. "Would you...Could you stay?" I asked unsure. He turned to me and a small smile formed on his lips as he walked back over to my bed. "I thought you'd never ask" He grinned laying down so our shoulders touched.

I needed this brash, obnoxious idiot with me because I, finally, felt complete. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Seth Fuller and Trishelle Mcguiness couldn't be anymore opposite.
