Description
Eric: Loves surfing, has killer abs, an even better smile, and a heart of gold.
Joe: A sarcastic goofball who gives great advice, which no one ever takes.
Zach: Sophisticated college boy, wise in the ways of French painting as well as other French things.
A California girl like Cassidy Jones should be out on the beach, not stuck in summer school! But her life heats up when she meets the worldly and romantic Zach – she can't stop thinking about him, even though she already has a boyfriend. Cassidy wishes her pal Joe were around to help her figure out the secrets of boys, but he's hundreds of miles away. Will she be able to ignore her feelings for Zach – or will temptation be too strong to resist?
