    Summary

    "She deserved someone better. Someone who didn’t smell like beer most days and self-sabotage the rest. She was sunshine, and he was mildew."

    Shane has built walls around his heart that are too thick to tear down—at least, that’s what he tells himself. He’s just fine being alone, tending to his chickens and drowning his demons in beer. But when a bright, relentless farmer moves to Pelican Town and somehow sees him, Shane’s carefully constructed walls start to crack. He doesn’t want her to get too close. He doesn’t want to be saved. He doesn’t want anything from her.

    But she doesn’t give up on him.

    And now, as his heart begins to betray him, Shane has to decide if he’ll keep running from the thing that could save him—or let her follow him into the dark.
