Reed Monroe is a man on the run—framed for murder, hunted by a dangerous cartel, and betrayed by those he trusted. With nowhere to turn, he hides in the small town of Cascade Creek, taking a job as a cook in a local diner. But secrets have a way of catching up, and when his past collides with his present, waitress Skye Winters is pulled into a deadly game she never expected.
Skye is a charming protagonist, her love of mystery novels making her the perfect counterpart to Reed’s real-life thriller.

The book ends on a semi-cliffhanger, setting up the sequel Renegade. While some readers may find this frustrating, it effectively builds anticipation for the next instalment. Overall, Runaway is a gripping, well-crafted novel that will appeal to fans of romantic suspense and action-packed thrillers. A definite must-read for those who enjoy high-stakes drama with a heart-pounding romance at its core.
