Leigh Bire has three things she's worked hard for: her sobriety, her job at the nightclub and not ending herself yet.
After cutting off her entire support group after a messy breakup, the last thing Leigh expects to do is bring her new co-worker to the Dandelion Field.
Finn Monaghan is a sweet boy but an awful bartender. When Finn finds himself surrounded by the degenerates of the Dandelion Field, he becomes one of the many co-dependent on it. Although she promised herself she wouldn't find herself in love again, Finn's dependency on substances leave Leigh in a tricky position.
Does she cut-off the one man that seems to make her mind make sense, in a hopes she won't bury herself too or does she resign to become one of the many lost to the Dandelion Field.

"Well I'm craving... you" I suddenly hear Liam whisper in my ear from behind. I drop the menu on the table from shock. I feel his breath on my neck and it makes shivers run down my body. My breathing becomes heavy. "Yeah, well you're not getting me" I tell him sassily however my voice comes out breathless. He chuckles lowly and moves closer to me. His breath becomes more stronger and the cold air becomes more prominent. His hand trails up from my wrist up my arm. His fingers goes under my sleeves caressing every inch of my skin. I close my eyes as I let the sensation overwhelm me. Then, out of nowhere, I feel his other hand creep under my shirt. His hand reaches my hip and he massages it.
