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.
