Emily King hated two things more than anything:
1. Being told that a girl couldn't play a mean game of football.
2. A certain stormy-eyed-son-of-the-devil that went by the name of Kaden Reyes.
Put those two together and Emily faces a force to be reckoned with, one that pushes her to the limit while driving her to the brink of madness.
Emily King was no average girl. Raised with two older brothers and a dad who coached fulltime football, Emily's childhood was filled with massive amounts of testosterone, Gatorade, sweat, and footballs. Being surrounded by football players all the time should've made her immune to the boyish charms of the species we call males...it should have...
Kaden Reyes was the storm Emily could never navigate. Her childhood was filled with the unwanted presence of the son-of-a-demon. From pulling her hair in the third grade, to throwing snowballs in her face, or chasing all the boys Emily found herself crushing over away, Kaden managed to turn Emily's world upside down.
When he moves away just a year into middle school, the news is heaven on a platter for Emily. No more chaos. No more making her miserable. No more annoying her to the ends of the world.
Finally, Emily thinks she has her life under control. Adjusting her sails and cruising through life, things seem to be clearer than ever, until a thunderous presence darkens the horizon. A storm in the form of now a dangerous blue-eyed man comes crashing back into her life, tearing down her walls and wrecking chaos on her world.
Adjust your sails, tighten the lines, and raise the anchor. Emily is about to sail into a hurricane that might just swallow her whole, for this blue-eyed storm has plans, and they all start with Emily.

"We might live next door to each other," Haley said, "but we don't live in the same world."
Hooking her fingers around her backpack straps, she walked away from Jace. She had barely gone a few steps before he was at her side again.
"What makes you believe we don't live in the same world?" he asked. "As far as I can tell, we do."
"No, we don't. I'm...me and you're Jace Cortez. The dream of every girl. The friend to every guy. The star of the school. Girls. Sports. You're the ultimate player."
"It sounds like you have a preconceived notion of who I am."
"And it's one that has yet to be proven wrong."
From books and a lifetime of sitting on the sidelines, Haley is convinced she knows how the world works, specifically high school. Everyone has a label and a box they fit in.
This knowledge, paired with parents who are fighting, a brother leaving soon for college and a best friend who moved away has made her decide to never get involved.
It will take being forced to work with her fellow juniors on a project, a boy next door with a infectious smile, a star gazer with an adorable puppy, and an unlikely pair of fangirls to make her see how truly wrong she was about everything.
