Frayed around the edges, Raine is always moving with a storm. Feeling like the family disappointment, she doesn't stick around in her hometown after her college boyfriend and long-time friend, Nollan, publicly proposes.
Marriage has never been something she's wanted. Raine didn't dream of a fairytale wedding or a happily ever after. She dreamed of skateboarding in Barcelona, snowboarding in Switzerland, and sinking her toes into the sands of every ocean in the world.
She had to leave most of those dreams behind in Florida with everyone from her past. It costs a lot more to travel the world in adventure than a Copy Editor living in New York could afford.
Five years into her new life, all hail breaks loose on a routine visit to her hometown, where her family still resides. She didn't expect anyone to show up at the hotel's gym at four-thirty in the morning or that it would take her down a rabbit hole, digging up her past and unraveling her present. Is Casey derailing her life or is he the one who made a mistake moving in on his friend's ex?
K.R. Brendlinger's fiction comes with a dose of realism and flawed characters that pull you in.
