In Magnolia Branch,
Mississippi, the Cafferty and Marsden families are southern royalty.
Neighbors since the Civil War, the families have shared vacations,
holidays, backyard barbecues, and the overwhelming desire to unite their
two clans by marriage. So when a baby boy and girl were born to the
families at the same time, the perfect opportunity seemed to have
finally arrived.
Jemma Cafferty and Ryder Marsden have no intention of giving in to their parents’ wishes. They’re only seventeen, for goodness’ sake, not to mention that one little problem: They hate each other! Jemma can’t stand Ryder’s nauseating golden-boy persona, and Ryder would like nothing better than to pretend stubborn Jemma doesn’t exist.
But when a violent storm ravages Magnolia Branch, it unearths Jemma’s and Ryder’s true feelings for each other as the two discover that the line between love and hate may be thin enough to risk crossing over.

Jemma Cafferty dan Ryder Marsden sudah saling mengenal sejak dari buaian. Kedua keluarga mereka memiliki hubungan yang bermula saat kakek buyut Jemma menyelamatkan kakek buyut Ryder saat perang. Sejak itu kedua keluarga bertekad untuk menyatukan keluarga mereka dalam hubungan pernikahan. Sayangnya, dari semua keturunan yang lahir jarang ditemukan kecocokan seperti rentang usia yang jauh, anak-anak yang lahir berjenis kelamin sama, atau lainnya.
Kesempatan muncul ketika Jemma dan Ryder lahir. Anak laki-laki dan perempuan yang berbeda umur hanya beberapa bulan. Dari lahir kedua ibu dari anak-anak ini (yang kebetulan adalah sorority sister) sudah merancang pernikahan anak-anak mereka.
