Okay, sure. Here's your summary or whatever. I got dumped in some coastal English village no one's ever heard of because apparently "being angry" is a personality flaw and "reckless endangerment" is a reason to be deported. The forest's weird. The people are weirder. My mom paints ghosts and talks to cats. There's a guy (arin) who glares like it's his full-time job and already hates me for reasons I haven't figured out yet. (It's mutual.) Also, my brain's been humming like a broken lightbulb ever since I got here. My skin itches. My bones feel wrong. Every night it gets a little worse. But sure, maybe it's just jet lag. But that's not important, right? You're just here for drama and shirtless tension or whatever. Anyway, something's wrong with this place. Just know that I didn't ask for any of this. Cool. Enjoy. Or don't. Not my problem.

At thirty‑eight, she runs Calloway Crest, a luxury pet resort where the town's wealthiest residents trust her with the animals they love more than most people. She is quiet, capable, and precise.
