Synopsis
The
first novel in a brand-new series—from New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling
author Abbi Glines—about a small Southern town filled with cute boys in pickup
trucks, Friday night football games, and crazy parties that stir up some major
drama.
To
everyone who knows him, West Ashby has always been that guy: the cocky,
popular, way-too-handsome-for-his-own-good football god who led Lawton High to
the state championships. But while West may be Big Man on Campus on the
outside, on the inside he’s battling the grief that comes with watching his
father slowly die of cancer.
Two
years ago, Maggie Carleton’s life fell apart when her father murdered her
mother. And after she told the police what happened, she stopped speaking and
hasn’t spoken since. Even the move to Lawton, Alabama, couldn’t draw Maggie
back out. So she stayed quiet, keeping her sorrow and her fractured heart
hidden away.
As
West’s pain becomes too much to handle, he knows he needs to talk to someone
about his father—so in the dark shadows of a post-game party, he opens up to
the one girl who he knows won’t tell anyone else.
West
expected that talking about his dad would bring some relief, or at least a
flood of emotions he couldn’t control. But he never expected the quiet new girl
to reply, to reveal a pain even deeper than his own—or for them to form a
connection so strong that he couldn’t ever let her go…
