Olivia has been through hell in life, and it just keeps raining on her, especially when she hits her brother’s rival with her car while working one of her three jobs one night.  Little did she know it would turn her world upside down. 

Rhys has battled his demons for years and didn’t think being hit by a car would be the thing to make him want to stay, but the girl driving becomes his new obsession. 

The way this story develops is HEART WRENCHING and loved every second of it, and the PLOT TWIST. Dear lord that Plot twist I couldn’t believe it. Did I see it coming, kinda, did I see the how/why? Absolutely Not.
