Little did she know, a lot could happen in one hot summer. * The moment Kara laid her eyes on Ryder, she knew she was a goner. She had never met anyone as sexy, fun, and liberating. But she'd made a promise that she won't give herself away before marriage. The moment Ryder laid his eyes on Kara, he knew his life wouldn't be the same again. He had never met a girl so pure and genuine. He made it his life mission to be with her, for better or for worse. Except, they could never be together; the universe had played a cruel joke on them.
