Riley needs to turn right back around and leave because I refuse to fall for his charm again. Sure, I once gazed into those mesmerizing ocean-blue eyes and fell hard, but I’ve learned my lesson. He’s not one for commitment.

No matter what antics the nosy folks in my quirky hometown pull, they won’t sway me into giving Riley another shot. I’m standing firm in my decision, despite my longing for his embrace.

However, when Riley reveals the reason behind his disappearance, doubts begin to creep in. Maybe, just maybe, he deserves a second chance after all.

Review
