Allie McGrath—youngest daughter of the distillery's co-owners, and the one woman he can't have. Allie has always been in love with Justin.

In Eden Valley, not all the monsters hide in the dark.

Viv knows the only way to keep herself safe and sane is to distance herself from her past and the family who’d betrayed her, even if that means losing the best friends she’d ever had and another chance with Sam.
