ELEANOR
Growing up, I thought escaping my controlling parents would feel like freedom.
Word of advice? If you're planning to run, make sure you don't get scammed in the process.
Now I'm living in a dead van on the property of the one man in town who hates me most. He thinks I'm a spoiled princess. Expects me to crumble.
I don't.
My father destroyed his family. But I'm carrying evidence that could clear his family's name and take down mine in the process. Now I have to choose between the parents who controlled every breath I took, and the angry, broken man who's starting to look at me like maybe I'm not the enemy after all.

I didn't expect her to be different.
Eleanor Newbury was supposed to be soft. Spoiled. Everything I've spent ten years hating about her family wrapped up in designer clothes and a fake smile.
Instead, she's stubborn as hell, refuses to ask for help, and looks at me like she sees past all the walls I've built.
I should want her gone. Her father destroyed my family. My brother's mistakes are the reason I've spent two years hiding from my own town.
But every time she fights back, every time she refuses to break, I fall a little harder.
Now I have to choose between holding onto the past and reaching for the future. Between protecting myself and letting in the woman who might just be my only way home.
If you love heroines who find their strength when everything falls apart, heroes who show love through actions before they can say the words, and small towns where everyone knows your business but roots for you anyway, this book is for you.
