For Daisy Johnson, life's never been easy. That's why she's got her whole life planned - study hard, get into medicine, live the life her mother never could. But when James Hunter - the insufferable captain of the boys' soccer team - starts to play a larger, more annoying, part in her life (again, to her dismay), her plan begins looking a little different. James is tall, tan and talented - and, annoyingly, is good at all the things she is. Whether this stems from their close relationship as kids - which she pretends wasn't a reality - or his blatant desire to antagonize her, she doesn't know. And when in their final school year, they're made captains of their soccer teams, they start to see a little more of each other than either deems necessary. It's about to get messi...

Where there's a will, there's a wave. The only thing closed-off Alex Miller and popular Nicholas Townsend have in common is a love of surfing, books, the ocean and a knack for quick, fiery comebacks. Despite this, Nick's determined to get to know the real Alex. After putting their differences past them and becoming close friends, Alex begins falling for Nick. But he's harboring secrets, and she begins to wonder just what he's keeping from her. *** When Nicholas Townsend strolled into Alex Miller's state high school, the only thing she was obliged to do was stay out of his way - a feat which she didn't imagine to be difficult in the slightest - but when he seems insistent on sitting next to her in biology, she finds her goal much harder to accomplish. Despite the fact that it's Alex's senior year - a year that brings with it both final exams and the national championship surfing competition - she can't get her head around Nick's constant presence. After all, who'd want to be friends with the turbulent, unlikable, ever-loner, Alex Miller? But before she knows it, she's falling for him - and fast.

I turn around and look into his blue eyes, searching them. When I'm certain that he's not lying, butterflies erupt in my stomach and I gulp audibly. His fingers move from playing with the tips of my hair to my cheeks. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer. His other hand moves from my waist to my jawline and he trails his thumb along my bottom lip. He pulls my face closer until I can smell his minty breath. His eyes close and so do mine. My head tilts to the side slowly and I feel his lips on mine. *** Natalie Bennett: a sassy 17-year-old, who, after leaving her home in Paris, starts at Lakewater high in America. Natalie is humble, sarcastic and smart, funny and forgiving. She complains when she has to wear dresses, heels and make-up and she can't stand annoying fake girls. Alex Collins: cocky, egocentric, and a magnet to the female race, that is, all girls except Natalie, who can't stand him. Alex is a player, a model, and a singer. His family is rich. He's the definition of a bad boy, but behind those ray bans hides an intelligent soft side. But when they unexpectedly bump into each other both Natalie and Alex begin to realize there might be more layers to the other than they expected.
