Hendrix Bateman is one of the "lucky three" survivors of the team since he was not on the team plane that crashed. He also had another significant loss in his past. He has been taking life more seriously and trying to make a relationship work with his current girlfriend but it is just not right at all. He is charismatic, likable, and determined. 

Stevie is a tough, smart, independent bar owner who is the total opposite of his usual type.  And she just happens to catch Hendrix's eye right after dumping his girlfriend. Stevie is guarded and snarky, but there is just something about her that makes him want to fight for a first date.

Neither expected to want to develop a real relationship. But these two move pretty fast and have great banter and chemistry, and also find themselves becoming vulnerable. But Stevie has abandonment issues and something going on in her life that she is keeping from others. And Hendrix has been used before and also has some survivor's guilt. Things seem to be developing perfectly, but they both have their triggers just waiting to be tripped. It's a bit predictable and you can just feel it coming, but it is interesting to see just how they will react to challenges and perceived betrayals.

This brings back much of the team and their significant others. I also loved Stevie's intimidating dad and his aunt Rory. I am looking forward to Camden next.
