Starting over at twenty is hard enough. Starting over with a toddler and a secret? Nearly impossible. After leaving Chicago behind, she thought Hawkins High would just be a pit stop - a place to quietly finish her diploma, keep her head down, and carve out a better future for her son. No one knows she's a mom... And she intends to keep it that way. Until Eddie Munson happened. Loud, stubborn, and impossible to ignore, Eddie is also repeating his senior year - and suddenly very interested in the new girl who quotes campaign rulebooks and wears metal band tees. But with bottle feeds, day-care drop-offs, and a life she's not ready to share, she can't afford distractions. Especially not the kind with wild hair, soft eyes, and a tendency to break past every wall she puts up. Between calculus exams, car-seat tantrums, and critical hits of the heart, she'll have to decide if it's worth the risk to let someone in - or if this is one campaign she'll have to run solo. - TW - Smut, smoking, drinking, swearing, weed, violence.

"As the brunette walked out, Klaus watched her every move. The way her hair flowed side to side in her ponytail and how her hand softly grabbed onto the door handle, allowing others to exit before her. Most of all, he noticed the way her heartbeat. The one sound that had been missing for quite some time finally returned." [ Growing up, Veronica Gilbert never gave thought to the possibility of the monsters that came out at night. Only when the Salvatore Brothers return to Mystic Falls does Veronica realize her life has changed. For better or for worse. ] First Book!!
