However, their time on the road has changed them, and not everyone approves of their burgeoning relationship.

After a disastrous senior year of high school, Beth Greene has put off college for the time being and is working at the new, soulless diner chain on the edge of Senoia. Stuck and lost, she befriends the surly, mysterious line cook, Daryl. However, what begins as an innocent work friendship quickly becomes something more, and what was supposed to be a summer off to figure things out turns into the kind of love story Beth thought she only read about in books.

Summary
His life was left in ruins by the accusations and blaze of guilt when a crooked cop killed the only one that mattered to him. But the universe is fickle and no good deeds go unpunished and enjoys too much of self doubt and guilt that followed.
He had given up on life ever being anything but pain and that was when the universe struck and threw his past on his face in a form of a blonde woman who bared the face of the love of his life. The one he thought was dead.

Summary
It was right at the edge of her memory. Daryl smoked his cigarette, watching Beth watching him. She spoke softly. “I know you, don’t I?”
He held her gaze, his eyes small and shrouded against the shadows thrown by the street lights. After a minute he tapped a long column of ash off the butt, looked away, and shrugged.
Beth huffed. “Well, I think you know me. Do you?”
Her stomach clenched as Daryl finally nodded, looking down at his shoes, at the sidewalk. “Took me a minute,” he said, dropping the butt and crushing it with his boot. “But I clocked ya.”
It was like a picture coming into focus. His eyes flicked up to hers, and he knew that she knew.
