The story is top notch as well as the author. A great way to spend a summer day.
I received an advanced readers copy from the publisher. Opinions are my own.

Runaway is a fast-paced prequel with suspense, danger, romance, and secret identities, and it's set in a small town. There is forced proximity between the hero and heroine in this story who are being targeted.
If you enjoy a small town, forced proximity suspense read, you'll don't want to miss out on Runaway.
