Everyone in Ridgeway is curious about the new girl. One person particular is extra curious; Kade Carpender. Kade is the local rude, vulgar jerk of Ridgeway. He throws girls away like old tissues. And most of the older population in Ridgeway is convinced that Kade is a scary gangbanger. But on the inside; he's a torn up little kid. Life on the beach is different from where Anika used to live. It doesn't help that her beloved boyfriend lives back in her hometown. Her 21 year old sister, aka her legal guardian, is also trying hard to make ends meet. And Kade Carpender is hell bent on pestering her every waking moment. Or, at least it seems that way.
