Nate's mother broke his heart long before any girl had the chance to. He suffered another loss when the first girl he fell in love with left him with cancelled plans and a broken heart. All the women in his life seems to leave him broken; so as a defence measure to protect his broken heart, he lives under the pretence of being a spoiled and insensitive casanova. He's contented with the way things are--at least that's what he tells himself. He's convinced that being uncaring and engaging in transient relationships is enough; until an unknown girl is washed ashore in the beach that he happens to own. Before long, Nate finds himself being the enemy of numerous people--malicious and powerful people. Is he willing to risk his life for this new woman whom he has started to have feelings for? Every woman he cared for gave him nothing but pain and heartache; he gave so much yet received so little back. Is he willing to open up his barricaded heart and finally love again? And most importantly, is she worth it? Is she worth the risk?
