Josie

First loves can change your life.

Josie Morris stuck to the shadows and kept to herself. Growing up with an abusive parent didn't exactly do her any favors. Focused on one goal-get through high school and move as far away as possible-the last thing she expected was to fall in love.

First loves can be the hardest to lose.

Cole Connelly made Josie's heart sing, and when she fell, she fell hard. Together, they planned to take on the world, but life gets messy and sometimes, love gets caught in the crossfire. Years later, she finds herself miles away in New Orleans, but her heart will always belong to him.

First loves aren't always safe.

Her best friend pushes Josie to put her heart back out there, but she knows just how dangerous allowing herself to love can be. When a familiar face takes the stage at the bar Josie works at, it forces her to confront the past. The secrets that she tried to bury won't stay hidden, and not everyone is who they appear to be.
