Kat Armstrong is sarcastic, stubborn, headstrong, and most of all, wild. But, only when she’s around people she feels comfortable with. To the rest of the world, she’s just Kat. Everyone knows who she is, but is a wallflower. She’s nice to everyone while still remaining genuine. Kat is just your typical girl, nothing special.

When Kat’s father gets a job transfer from her hometown of Seattle to Kinston, North Carolina, she is faced with one of the most difficult things when being a teenager. Fitting in. She’s forced to make new friends, maintain her grades, and keep up with Rosen High’s latest and greatest. But the one thing she isn't forced to do is give up her heart. She plans to keep it on lock down.

Asher doesn't “sleep around,” but he’s only in a relationship for his own benefit. He’s popular, but not a jock. He’s hot, but not a God. But if there is one thing, Asher Sterling does NOT take no for an answer. His aggressive and cocky attitude fuels his drive to get what he wants. He notices Kat, just like every other girl, but doesn't pay attention to her. It’s a small, insignificant moment, but that’s all it takes for them both to get swept into the riptide.
