Summary

At Santa Cruz Central High School, they called them the misfits, the outcasts, the weirdos. But most of us knew them as the Lost Boys... After Holden Parish survived his parents' horrific attempts to make him "the perfect son," he vowed to never let anything - or anyone - trap him again. Brilliant but broken, he hides behind expensive vodka, meaningless sex, and a wicked sense of humour. He only has to ride out one year in the coastal town of Santa Cruz with his aunt and uncle before he inherits his billions and can disappear. Falling in love is not in the plans. Star quarterback, prom king, and ladies' man, River Whitmore leads the perfect life... except it's all a lie. His father has River's future in the NFL all planned out, while River's dream is to run the family business in the town he loves. But with his mother terminally ill, how can he break his father's heart when it's already shattering? River's carefully crafted facade explodes when he meets Holden. They're complete opposites - River seeks a quiet life away from the spotlight, and Holden would rather have dental surgery than settle down. But even as Holden's demons and River's responsibilities threaten to keep them apart, their undeniable attraction crashes them together again and again, growing into something deep and real no matter how much they resist. Until one terrible night changes everything.
