Marie-France Leger

Marley Matthews screwed up. Following a drunken night of pleasure, she decides to abandon her glamorous New York City lifestyle and move to Nebraska with a man who quickly betrays her, leaving her hopeless with no one to turn to. After driving in the night to escape the life she pursued, Marley ends up stranded in front of a farmhouse owned by the Lanes. Payton Lane, a kind stepmother, takes her in until she gets back on her feet, but her stepson, Hunter, is very reluctant to Marley and does not make it any easier on her when she decides to accept Payton's offer. But there's more to Hunter than what he projects, and Marley begins to think that she may have found someone even more broken than she was. TW: Drunk driving, loss of a loved one, alcohol abuse, mental health/insecurity, body image and toxic family dynamic.

i’ve waited sm for this, bc i saw it on tiktok and the day it came out, i immediately started reading it and it was so good, marley and hunter are so strong characters and i love them sm 

- “I saw the I <3 NYC keychain when I carried your luggage up to the cabin an’ I thought, well, New York ain’t your home no more… maybe it’s time for a replacement.”

- “But from the second I met Bambi, I’d known she was trouble. Not for the reasons I once believed, but because she could’ve easily split my heart in two and repaired it just the same.”

- “I’m so sorry.”
 “For what?”
 “For fighting against my heart since I met you.” 

- “All the sensitive parts of me, all the weak parts of me, every single part of me that lived in the shadows… it was hers.”

- “A bookstore?” “Do you even read?”
 “Nah,” Hunter grinned, “but you do.”

- “Everything was good. Everyone was happy. Bambi brought the sunlight, and I lifted up my glasses just to see her shine.”

- “She lay nestled in my arms; my princess, my golden girl. The sun in my fuckin’ heart, clinging on to me like this was all we had left – each other, the moment of us, forever.”

- “Hunter chose life.”

- “They never did. And I realized it was cause I wanted to live. God, I’ve been trying to end it all for years. Four years that’s all I thought about, all I wanted… because I haven’t felt alive since. But here you are, baby.” He leaned his chin atop my head and planted a gentle kiss on my temple. “My lifeline.”
