Elizabeth Simon? Your average skater. She does okay in school, wears the right clothes and hates the right people. She's never had a boyfriend, but she's okay with that. With layered blonde hair, icy blue eyes, long lashes and a lean, tall body, she knows she isn't ugly. Aside from her everyday life, she goes to church every Sunday and Youth Group on Wednesdays. She's focusing on God, the one person she knows is going to be there for her no matter what. She has made a promise to Him that she's going to stay loyal and pure until marriage. Will her morals change when she meets a boy who makes her knees weak?
Chase Holmes is a bad boy. With brown hair that has a naturally stylish-messy look, and his track record, he definitely fits the description. But he's not a bad kid. He had a rough past. While in the foster home, he had to learn to stand up for himself, and sometimes he took it too far, getting in trouble. When his uncle and aunt took him in during the summer, they took him to church where he met a girl and they ALMOST immediately hit it off. Will this summer romance get out of hand, or will this amazing girl help him tame his anger issues?
