Hawkins, Indiana was never meant to hold someone like Billy Hargrove.
At twenty-five, Billy is violence wrapped in denim and cigarette smoke-hot-tempered, dangerously seductive, and barely holding himself together. Everyone knows to stay out of his way. Everyone except Precious Davenport.
Precious is sunshine with sharp edges. Twenty-three, spoiled in the best way, adored by her parents, and fully aware of the power she carries. She's bubbly, bold, and knows exactly what she wants-even if what she wants is the town's most unhinged man. Where Billy is chaos, Precious is confidence. Where he burns, she glows.
Their connection is instant. Obsessive. Toxic.
Billy doesn't just want Precious-he claims her. Protects her with a violence that borders on devotion. His jealousy is suffocating, his love consuming, and once Precious steps into his world, there's no turning back. Hawkins whispers about them. About him. About the way Billy watches her like she's the only thing tethering him to reality.
But in a town already hiding monsters, loving Billy Hargrove comes with a price.
And Precious?
She's willing to pay it.
