Allie has lived next door to Jon for as long as she can remember. He's always been just... there, the quiet house beyond the fence line, the man who keeps to himself, the one who never quite joins the rest of the world. Now she's freshly twenty-one, and everything feels different. He's thirty-five, a retired actor who left Hollywood behind for a quieter life, and he still doesn't belong to anyone, or at least that's what he seems to want people to believe. But distance has a way of changing shape when you've spent years growing up just out of reach of someone.

Was he always this undeniable ?, maybe he should have been considering he's your dads best friend yet something about him brings you to him every time .

You, Y/N Brown, a 21-year-old girl, left your hometown Gatlinburg in Tennessee to live your dream life in New York as a brand manager. Now that you have been away for 4 years, you already have your own company with two big contracts. However, during an October morning, your mom is calling you. This call will change everything. Indeed, she is announcing to you that Asher, your beloved brother, has been missing since September. At this news conference, the world is crumbling beneath you, but you don't think twice and decide to come back to your hometown. For your family, for Asher, and to find him back. But it was without expecting the arrival of a police officer, Jon Bernthal, who would turn your life upside down. With his deep brown eyes and his impressive but attractive aura, Jon Bernthal will become a pretty important part of your life; as much in terms of relationship as for the mystery around Asher. Between strong emotions, revelations, unexpected love and tensions, Y/N does not expect what will happen to her upon her return to Gatlinburg. Or even the evolution of her risky and forbidden relationship with Jon.
