There's something about Ari

the long version

Buck Ellis's future seems pretty bright with a full college scholarship in hand. He wants to ditch Bluewater Bay and pave the way for his younger brother, Charlie. The only fly in the ointment is his ten-year addiction to his best friend since second grade, his true love, and his Achilles' heel: Ari Valentine, Mr. Least Likely to Succeed. Buck's mother dies and changes everything. Five years later his future is on hold and he's struggling to put food on the table and keep Charlie out of trouble. Ari Valentine, ADHD poster child, left for Hollywood and lost everything, including his bad reputation. Then the breakthrough role of his career lands him back in Bluewater Bay. Everyone is stunned. But there's only one person Ari longs to impress - the only person who ever really mattered to him, the person he left behind: Buck Ellis.
