Ruined

This story starts with a car crash. Lyla Winters's life is at a crossroads. She's bounced around from one job to another since she was sixteen, wanting to experience everything, but now that she's twenty-five, her lack of a plan is a little less cute. Too bad for her, she has no idea what she wants to do with the rest of her life. She's got a plan though. She'll take a year off to travel and find herself. That plan goes off the road though when she gets to Destiny Falls, Michigan, and runs into some fancy SUV. Out climbs Hudson Hayes. Restaurateur, James Beard Winner, and the man with a plan. Also, maybe the man of her dreams. She has to pay for the damage to both of their cars and just like that, there goes her savings for the year. Now she's stuck in Destiny Falls, working at the Mystery Cabin and living in the apartment above Hudson's restaurant. The plan for the year off is still in play though. She just needs to save up her money and keep her eye on the prize. It's just that the prize looks more and more like Hudson every day. When Lyla finally has enough saved to leave Destiny Falls, will she be able to say goodbye to the friends and life that she's made here in this small town? Or will she have finally found the one place that she truly belongs?
