Where do you go when your home isn’t safe? Sophie Miller can’t live in her Colorado Springs house anymore—not after what happened. She has to get away from her meth-addicted mother. Away from the danger. Away from the drug trafficker who wants her. Finally, her father sends for her in Applewood, Oregon, where she falls in love with the sleepy town—and its persona non grata, Jeremy Rutledge. Spawned by the town conman, her father warns her to stay away from the boy with the kindest eyes she’s ever seen. As their relationship blossoms, so does the trouble.
