(Book 1 in the Color Series) ~ In which a young girl treading the fine line between feisty and dangerous finds herself on the wrong side of the wrong fence at the wrong time, drowning in shades of purple ~ "Get off my lawn" "Get off my ass, old man" ~ Alicia was simply trying to have a good time before life dragged her down into reality. Unfortunately, after being caught trying to skinny dip in the backyard pool of Hawkin County's most eligible deputy and being ditched by her male companion, reality might be closer than she was hoping for. Eliot just wanted a late night swim to clear his mind after a long day at the station. Imagine his surprise at finding a half naked teenager with intentions of removing more, dipping her toes into the frigid water. Watching idly by as her male companion darted over the fence, pants still vacant, he couldn't help but feel sympathy. That is at least until she opened her mouth. ~ Eliot- 32 Alicia- 18 Killian- 26
