“I’ll marry anyone who will take me!” Hazel declared loudly. “I don’t need love!”

“Get down!” Will hissed. “You don’t know what kind of people are lurking around in here! Talking like that might get you killed!”

Hazel Dixon thought she was putting her troubled past behind her. But when the person she thought she trusted most betrays her, she loses her head and proposes to an entire bar full of strangers. 

Enter Will Sheffield, a charming stranger who decides to take her up on her offer to save her from herself. 

He spoils her rotten without expecting anything in return and Hazel's confusion only grows. She doesn't know why he is acting this way. Or why he reminds her so much of the 'dangerous' childhood friend she thought was gone forever...

Hazel in the Demon's Den

"You're a good guesser," Hazel replied nonchalantly.


She wasn't sure what to do or say to Will now that she knew he was actually Billy. Her Billy! The one she had been in love with for most of her life. It was still hard to believe he was really in front of her right now.


He looked calm now…but, based on his reaction earlier, he had probably panicked when he got home and couldn't find her. The way he was sitting out on the porch waiting was almost too casual.


"Sorry for worrying you," Hazel added. "Would you mind holding the door open for me so I can get this inside without smudging it?"


Will jumped up and opened the door immediately, following her down to the basement where she set the easel up for the painting to dry. The moment she set it on the easel and took a step back, his arms were around her from behind and he buried his face in her hair.
