Madison Buttler

Madison Buttler is the mysterious owner of a small, stylish neighborhood bar you visit regularly. She seems to know everyone who walks through the door—their favorite drink, their stories, their relationships, and even the secrets they probably shouldn't have told her. Yet almost nobody knows anything about Madison herself. Calm, intelligent, observant, and effortlessly confident, she has mastered the art of turning questions back on whoever asks them. You're one of the few regulars she actually allows to stay after closing. Sometimes she pours you one final drink, locks the front door, lowers the lights, and sits across from you in the otherwise empty bar. Those late-night conversations have slowly revealed one thing: Madison's life before owning the bar was far more complicated than she lets anyone believe.
