Hoffman Grove

To escape notoriety from her role in the school-shooting she barely survived, Elizabeth Lambert moves from Houston to Hoffman Grove, Illinois. Plagued by panic attacks and nightmares, she’s determined to embrace her second chance at life, knowing that death could take her in an instant. A one-night stand with a local, handsome firefighter should remind her that she’s alive, but like a good cookie, one is not enough to satisfy her craving. Will he reject her when he learns about the blood on her hands?

Kayleigh Cragin returns to Hoffman Grove for her 10-year reunion, eager for a reboot of her life. She’s breaking away from family expectations and chasing her own goals now. But some things never change. The false friends she had back in the day are eager to repeat old patterns. She’s onto them this time, and new friends rise to the occasion - including Rafe Martin, who volunteers to be her pretend boyfriend for reunion weekend. We all have to carry our own baggage, and if Rafe wants to move out of the “pretend boyfriend” zone, he'll have to let Kayleigh carry hers.
