Y/N has spent her entire seventeen years growing up in Florence, South Carolina—the kind of small town where everybody knows your name, Friday nights mean football, and family roots run deeper than the old town square. A senior in high school, Y/N has her twin sister Bella by her side, her best friend Stella practically attached to her hip, and her protective nineteen-year-old brother Dustin always watching out for them. She knows everyone, loves her hometown, and has never dreamed of leaving the place she calls home. Then Malachi Barton comes to town. He’s met plenty of girls from all over the world, but there’s something different about Y/N. She isn’t impressed by fame, attention, or the idea of escaping her hometown. She’s a true homegrown girl—with an old soul, a good heart, and a love for the simple things. Malachi came to Florence without expecting to find anything that would change his life. He definitely didn’t expect to fall for the girl right across the street. But winning over Y/N might be the easy part. Getting past her twin sister, her best friend, and especially her protective older brother Dustin? That might be a completely different story. Because sometimes, no matter how many beautiful girls you meet… there’s nothing like a homegrown hometown girl.
