Previously published in Summer Heat 2023: Stay With Me.
Ryan McGregor is on the run from a deadly family and hiding out in a small town thanks to extended family he's never met. Bethany Wilkinson always comes second but now she's number one on a hit list. Bethany will have to risk it all on a runaway and her faith in the plan God has for her if she's going to stay alive. And if Ryan can do the same, it might be the one shot he has to finally be free.
This book, Runaway, was a good solid read!! I'm truly enjoying Pierce's work more with every book she releases. This was filled with great action and suspense!
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.
Willowdale, Arkansas is a charming small town, exuding that cozy small-town atmosphere. I have a special fondness for stories set in small towns, so I was confident that I would adore this tale.
