You’re probably looking for a plot synopsis because the blurb on this book does not give what it is supposed to give. Here you go: 

Cecelia Horner is an 18 (almost 19) year old woman who has been forced to move in with her very wealthy father who owns a factory in Triple Falls North Carolina for a year before she can claim her inheritance.

She meets Sean Roberts her first day at work at her father’s factory. Then she meets Dominic King and things get interesting. Sean and Dominic are hiding a lot of things from everyone except for their very close group of friends who all have the same tattoo of a Raven. There are also lots of classic cars, hiking and parties.

This is a coming of age/sexual awakening story set in a small town with an anti-establishment twist. 

The main characters are all kind of terrible and a little stupid. There is a lot of explicit sex and it’s well done, but the relationships are super toxic, there is a lot of lying and some scenes could be triggering if you have issues with emotional abuse or gaslighting.

There is not an HEA or an HFN so it’s technically not a romance. But that’s what this book is about. Hope this is helpful!
