Gigi Knox desires one thing: to be wanted. By her narcissistic mother she struggles to keep a relationship with, by friends new and old, and especially by Marcus Matteson, her casual situationship that never manages to become something more.

When Marcus ends their arrangement in favor of starting a serious relationship with someone else, Gigi is crushed. Feeling lost, she decides to make a change and stay with her mother in Geddington Beach, South Carolina. There, she meets Cade Deans: a rugged tattoo artist who wants nothing more than to own and manage a tattoo shop, and nothing less than to be tied down to anybody. He breaks hearts, calls Gigi ‘princess’, and ruins everything he touches. And enjoys it. Despite being everything she doesn’t want, Gigi can’t stop thinking about him.
As Cade and Gigi continue crossing paths, they realize their differences could actually prove beneficial. When Gigi tells Cade about her desire to become the girl that a guy would gladly be with, Cade offers to help. But what’s in it for Cade? He wants Gigi to show him how to be a good boyfriend, if he ever decides he wants stability (he won’t). Gigi is desperate to learn how to become a girl who’s desired, and Cade starts to wonder how bad it could possibly be to learn how to impress a girl who wants what Gigi does out of life: compassion, love, and a stable boyfriend.

Together, they try to get over their pasts, and try to ignore who they really are in favor of becoming the people they think they need to be. There’s just one problem: Even though Cade and Gigi are everything the other can’t stand, they can’t seem to get over each other.
