Tim never planned on stopping in a town like this-small, sun-bleached, and forgotten by the world. But when car trouble forces him and his friends to pull over, they cross paths with Faye, a girl with an easy smile, sharp wit, and a confidence that leaves him speechless. From the moment she locks eyes with him, Tim feels something shift. She's effortless where he's uncertain, bold where he hesitates. And when she invites him to the diner where she works, the pull between them becomes undeniable. It was supposed to be a stop along the way, just a brief detour. But as the dust settles in the wake of Faye's truck, Tim realizes that sometimes, the best stories don't start with a plan-they start with a girl who makes you forget where you were headed in the first place.
