RUNNING FROM HIS PASTDelta Force agent Jase Crenshaw knew no one would be looking for him in the remote cabin. The solitude suited him fine. No prying family, no concerned colleagues…and no one to point a deserving finger of blame. His physical wounds would heal. His soul was another story.RUNNING FOR HER LIFEThough the waiflike creature on his doorstep was clearly in trouble, Jase vowed to offer only shelter from the storm. Leslie O'Brien's innocence and tenderness were more than he deserved. But their unexpected encounter could save them both….

About the author
Annette Broadrick
215 books42 followersAnnette Broadrick was born on November 26. Her mother read to her until she read to herself. From that time on, books became her closest companions and teachers. She was an only child until the middle of her 16th year when her sister was born.
She married immediately after high school graduation in the middle of her 18th year. Twelve months later she had her first son. She ended up having four sons in seven years. People with children do not need to explain what their life was like for the next 20 years. Those people without children do not want to hear about it. Early on, she became a secretary to supplement the family income. Eventually she became a legal secretary and for 25 years she worked for attorneys in Arizona, Texas, Illinois, and Oregon.
Her love of books followed her throughout her career as a mother and a secretary. By the time her youngest son graduated from high school she decided to write a book of her own. After writing in a spiral notebook for six months, she rented a typewriter and rewrote the book, showed it to a creative writing teacher, who was also a friend, listened to her critique and rewrote her story. Next she showed it to another avid romance reader and carefully listened to her critique. She rewrote her story once again. Next she mailed the manuscript to the Silhouette office in New York. Two months later she received a phone call asking if she'd be willing to do extensive revisions, including cutting one hundred pages. She said yes. This was in January 1984. By the time the book, Circumstantial Evidence, came out in November of that year, she had sold a total of six books.
Since October 1984 Annette has supported herself with her writing. Her career as a published author has also supported her reading habit and in the past five years she has managed to establish a quiet life in the Hill Country of central Texas that soothes as well as stimulates her. She hopes to continue writing the kind of books that readers enjoy.

Loved the story! The ending seemed a little tagged on, but the book is well worth reading. All the characters were well developed and engaging. A very enjoyable story.

Začátek byl moc hezký, ale pak se rozklížila.
Vyspali jsme se spolu a možná je těhotná.
Tak se vezmeme.
Kupodivu ji díky tomu najdou ti špatní.
A co udělají? Zavolají jejímu manželovi, aby se s ním domluvili, kde a jak jeho manželku chňapnou.
Vážně?
s. 36,37
„Nemohli bychom si tykat?“
„A proč ne?“
Přesto mu vyká až do s. 38.
s. 48 Ležel teď na boku, tváří ke stěně.
A probudil se „zády ke zdi“.
Na úzké posteli, kam se sotva oba vešli? Nebo že by večer přes něho přelézala?
mě/mně - s. 42
s. 16 holící [holicí]
s. 20 pře [před]
s. 79 Fakte pěkný
s. 96 tebe“ řekl
s. 167 a ona tiše přešel k posteli

Leslie está escapando de algo que vio en el momento y lugar equivocado, pero en su huida en el medio de una tormenta de nieve, queda a merced del militar Jason Crenshaw, que luego de ser herido en una misión escapa a una lejana cabaña para recuperarse... viendo que la situación empeora a cada momento ellos se van acercando más y lo inevitable se hace realidad...
Es entretenida aunque me hubiese gustado un poco más de peligro en la historia y tal vez, un poco más de la relación entre ellos, aunque para pasar el rato está mas que bien.

Just recently remebered (don't know why, honestly) this book. I read it in my late teens (like 15 years ago 🫣) from my mom's collection ;) I could actually recall a lot of details, so I did a re-read. Well, can't say it lived up to the expectations coloured by nostalgia, but it was not bad. Solid read even after all this time - interesting plot line, likeable MCs. ✅
