MILITARY ROMANCE • FORCED PROXIMITY • ON THE RUN

A Heart-Pounding Romance About Trust, Survival, and Love Worth Dying For

Some encounters start with hello. Theirs started with a gun...

Navy SEAL KC thought his four-week leave would be peaceful—just him, his uncle's beach house, and some much-needed R&R. Instead, he walks into his temporary sanctuary to find a beautiful, desperate woman pointing a weapon at his chest.

Moriah has been running for her life, bouncing from town to town, always one step ahead of the dirty cops and ruthless drug dealers who want her dead. When KC finds her, she spins a lie about fleeing an abusive ex-boyfriend—anything to keep him from learning the deadly truth.

As the two become reluctant temporary housemates, KC offers to train Moriah to defend herself. But when her past catches up with her, will KC be able to accept the web of lies unraveling around her? And will Moriah be able to trust him with her life?

To stay means risking everything. To run means losing the only man who's ever made her feel safe.
