Hawkins is hot, crowded, and crawling with secrets-and Tiffany Annie Hargrove knows better than anyone that nothing good ever stays buried in a small town. With blonde curls, hazel eyes, and a reputation that precedes her, Tiffany is smart, sharp-tongued, and untouchable. Billy Hargrove's little sister. Max Mayfield's stepsister.
