Living in a small town can be hard when gossip spreads like wildfire and the judgement of others seems to be a profession in which everyone has a doctorate, but it's even harder when your father is gone, your mother is mentally checked out, and your only best friend doesn't even know you.
Sam's whole life in Caster, Minnesota has made her jaded. She's convinced there are no real people left in the world to make her feel again and heal some of the brokenness created by her circumstances, but when a new kid comes to town bringing with him rumors of jail time and death, she can't help but be curious. She knows he can't be her cure, but maybe in him she can be understood.
What she never saw coming, was to fall for a boy with starless eyes.
"Have you ever looked into someone's eyes and seen all their demons? Seen everything that's ever haunted their dreams? It's a terrible, mesmerizing, conundrum, and I just couldn't stay away.... "

"You grew up better than I imagined." The guy said to me and smirked. His eyes travelled the whole lenght of my body and rested on my chest, making me completely self-conscious and kind of pissed off. Sure, he was a potential helper but this wasn't a reason for him to look at me like I'm eatable. "Would you care look me in the eyes?" I asked in irritation and he seemed to be enjoying the situation. "Pleasantly." He answered in a flirtatious tone and I rolled my eyes. Then as he lifted his hand to his face and took his glasses off, my suspicions were confirmed. I immediately knew why he looked so familiar. It just took me a look in the eyes and I knew.

He had the smile of a gentleman and the presence of a man who'd burn the world to keep your attention. He said all the right things. Held doors. Knew how to make her laugh. And when he looked at her-it felt like she was the only girl in the universe. But love, she learns, can be blinding. And not all monsters hide in shadows. Some wear suits. Some call you "baby."
