Ross Carpenter was born and raised in a small town in South Carolina. He struggled with shame due to his father and where he came from but the one good thing he had all though high school was Allie Williams. When Ross left for the Army he thought Allie turned her back on him because she never answered any of his letters. His mind told him it was because she thought he wasn't good enough for her.Today after being in the Special Forces for years he owns his own private security firm called RC Investigations. His latest client hired them to find and retrieve stolen information. When Ross see's that the person being accused of stealing the information is Allie, Ross's curiosity about what would make the good girl prom queen turn bad makes him take the case.Allie Williams was a publicity manager for a pharmaceutical firm. When she realizes her boss has been laundering lots of money and plans to release a drug that he knows has dangerous side effects  she does the only thing she can think of, takes proof of both and runs. She decides the best place to hide is in plain sight in her hometown at her aunt's house who is away on vacation.Ross saves her from an attempt on her life but she is wary about why he is there. He hasn't been back to town since he left all those years ago and she hasn't heard a word from him and now he has suddenly shown up as her savior.Ross chooses not to be totally honest with Allie about many things, like why he is really there and that he is still in love with her even after all of these years.  Allie isn't upfront either with truth's from both the past and with what really happened with her boss.The author did a great job of taking us on the journey with Allie and Ross as they worked through all of their past issues along with running from the assassin's that keep coming for Allie. Ross's teams at RC were great secondary characters and I hope they are going to be getting their own books in the future.
