Seen as the quiet voyeur at the St. Augustine Author Event, Willow Thornton is the reader trying to summon the courage to say hello to her favorite author, Benson Taylor. What Benson doesn't know is that Willow, who lives in the same town as Benson, has followed him around since she picked up his first book several years ago, always remaining in the shadows. She's hoping this event will give her the courage to get her out of the shadows and into his arms and Olivia Smoaks is determined to help her.
