Running away. It’s how Kelly Harrison dealt with things. Run away from her small-town life in Spring Bluff, Montana. From her parents. And from him … Jake Anderson. The one man who’d lit her world on fire since the day they met. When her father’s funeral drags her back, Kelly and Jake ignite in a single night that takes them from memory lane to lover’s lane in three shots of tequila. But she can’t stay. So Kelly does what she always does … she runs back to her life in New York. But this time, unknown to her, she takes a piece of her first love with her. A year later, Jake’s first and only love returns with a daughter who looks too much like him and a thousand unspoken hurts behind her chocolate eyes. If he moves too close, too fast, she could bolt, or maybe the unexplained threatening messages have something to do with her itching to run? No matter her reason, Jake’s going to do everything he must to protect her, his daughter and be certain the girl who own his heart never runs away from Spring Bluff again. The only question is…will it be enough this time?
I've been a reader since before I could write—history, comedy, intrigue, and of course, romance. Every book I consumed shaped how I see the world, and stories have been building in my head for as long as I can remember.
But life came first. I married my best friend, and eighteen years later he's still my biggest supporter. We have four energetic boys that I homeschool, and we've built our life soaking up the beauty of the South.
Through all of it, the stories never stopped. They just waited for their turn. When I finally sat down to write, I knew exactly what I wanted to create: romances where the women are scarred but strong, the men earn every ounce of trust, and the love is worth the fight. That conviction runs through every page—whether it's a small-town detective story in Spring Bluff or a gritty MC romance of the Red Hound Series (coming 2028) where the stakes are your life.
“Runaway” is a beautiful romance story that takes place in Montana. Jake has loved Kelly since they were little, but over a decade ago she broke his heart and left for the big city. For reasons not known to him, she suddenly returns to Spring Bluff. This time he is determined to get his second chance with her, risking everything.
I absolutely loved the characters in this book, and the descriptions had me feeling like I was truly there. There is also a mysterious element to the story, and I was so eager to figure out what was going on. I finished this book in a day! I cannot wait to read the second book in the Spring Bluff, Montana: Big Sky Romance series’
