"There's no way in hell I would ever let myself fall in love again, especially with a guy like you!"
Meet Macyn Brookes, a seventeen-year-old girl with no real love in her life... Except for music.
After years of being boyfriend-less and brokenhearted, she decided on a new motto in life: No boy, no heartbreak, no drama, no problem.
This was her normal everyday life, and she was fine with it.
That is, up until Ryder Lee - a well known "Badass"- comes back to town, and they have a run-in with each other at a beach party.
Suddenly, her life is completely turned upside-down.
Ryder is completely fascinated by her, no girl has ever given him the kind of reaction Macyn has... So now he is determined to find out who this girl is!
Of course, this just so happens to annoy Macyn to no end, but comes to realize that he may just happen to be a normal guy hiding underneath his bad boy act after all.
But, she refuses to give in to him, no matter what.
Will Macyn let her guard down enough to finally let love in - especially for a guy like Ryder- or has she become too hardened to the fear of getting hurt and let down after all this time?
