For former runaway Arianna Sprague, making a home in the small town of Hellcat means keeping her secrets in any way she can, even if it involves a little blackmail.

Everything's working out just fine until the new café owner rolls into town in a jacked-up truck and promptly starts airing all of his own secrets. Worst of all, Holden knows exactly who Arianna used to be, but instead of using it against her, he does the unthinkable: he doesn't care.

Determined to avoid the sexy, relentlessly decent man who sees straight through her defenses, Arianna keeps him at arm's length-until small-town drama and unwanted attention force her to finally open up to someone who refuses to see her as broken.

Just as Arianna starts to feel like she might actually belong, her abusive father resurfaces and reminds her exactly why she learned to run in the first place. Now Arianna must decide whether to run like she always has...or risk vulnerability, love, and a town that knows everyone's business but might just have her back.
