Twenty-five-year-old Peyton is everywhere but where she wants to be in her life. She graduated from college with a degree that is of no use to her, still living with her parents and paying rent while trying to have her own take on life. She didn't think things could get any worse, until her parents dropped the bomb. They were moving to Hawkins, Indiana. With a serving job that pays less than minimum wage, no friends her age to crash with and no boyfriend to convince her to stay, she packed up her things and drove the 500 miles from South Carolina to Indiana.
Questioning the looks of the bleak town that her father was transferred to for work, she couldn't help but feel like her life--as shitty and unfulfilling as it was--was over. There was no crawling out of the hole that Hawkins was definitely going to pull her into.
Everything looked uneventful and unwelcoming until she laid eyes on the six-foot three Chief of Police. Feeling attracted to him felt wrong, but she couldn't take her eyes off of his broad frame, the way he oozed confidence as he leaned against the hood of his rusty Bronco, a Camel dangling from his lips and a stare beneath broad brows that she couldn't quite read. But there was one thing she was picking up on for sure, he was looking right at her, and she loved the way it ignited a fire inside of her.
But he was her dad's boss and soon to be friend and she was a struggling twenty-five-year-old who had no idea how life or love worked. But maybe he was just what she needed to make life in this little town worth living. Even if she had to break a few rules.
