Lexi Gentry is under the impression that her life can't get much worse than having to return to the confines of hell—also known as her small hometown of Conway, Kentucky—for her 20th high school reunion. Back then, she wasn't part of the "in crowd", being a geek who wanted to write romance novels. Classmate Nathan McKinley was her only friend. Now she's a well-known horror novelist (the romances she loved to write didn't sell well), living and working in New York. Nathan, whom she hasn't seen since graduation, is back from Iraq, scarred and emotionally damaged. He wants to recover his dream—Lexi—and inspire her get back to her dream of writing romance.
