Transported to the 1980s as a 'vicious' cannon fodder, Su Yun's fate is sealed: break off an engagement, then fade into obscurity. But armed with modern savvy and a sharp tongue, she’s rewriting the script. Can she outwit a scheming 'best friend,' navigate a world of gossip and rigid rules, and forge her own path to riches—all while dodging the surprisingly persistent, stone-faced soldier she's supposed to avoid?

Margo Henderson's life in Hawkins is a carefully constructed rebellion against small-town conformity, until the arrival of the enigmatic, infuriating Billy Hargrove shatters her carefully guarded peace. He's the king douche, a swaggering jock who represents everything she despises. Yet, beneath his abrasive exterior lies a vulnerability she never expected, revealed in whispered confessions and silent pleas for help. As Margo finds herself increasingly entangled in Billy’s tumultuous world, she’s forced to confront the hidden truths that bind them, and the unexpected desires that threaten to unravel her own carefully constructed identity. Will she dare to peel back the layers of the bad boy facade, or will the secrets of Hawkins—and Billy's life—consume them both?
