First off.... I love this cover. I never usually comment on covers, but this one is insanely beautiful. Or maybe it is because the guy is super hot.. but I can stare at it all day!!Ok on to the book!This book was a fantastic read. I absolutely loved it! There was such a different story told. There was so many different components that made this a great book! This book is considered a romantic suspense , and while I usually don't read this type of book, I loved this one!!Piper has had a rough life ever since her mom married her step father, who is a police chief in a small town. He is abusive, controlling and later we find out even more disgusting then we could have imagined. He wants her out of the picture and finds a perfect way to get her out of town when she turns 17. He blames a crime on her knowing she didn't do it.When Piper left town she never looked back. She thought she was doing the right thing. Especially for her boyfriend Ryland (I love his name!!).  Ryland had everything going for him. He was off to Stanford and going places in life. He didn't need Piper dragging him down. Little did she know when she left town, his life took a drastic turn. Not for the better. If she only knew what was in store for Ryalnd, she would have never left.Now 7 years later, Piper is back. Her mother is dying and she has come back to say goodbye. Piper can't believe everything that has happened since she has left. This includes Ryland still being in the small town working as a bartender. Ryland has also been Piper's little sisters rock. Piper is not sure what to make of everything. Is her sister now with Ryland? Why is he still there?Everything changes for the 3 of them in a huge way. No spoilers. But after the event, the 3 of them must stick together and  get through it. This is major. From that point on, Piper and Ryland's relationship changes. Maybe things can go back to where they were before Piper left. These two obviously still love each other.I loved this book. I can't wait for the next one in the series.
