The Runaway & The Marine: She Ran From Her Past. He Became Her Future.
By S.J. Wilder
She escaped her past.
He's still haunted by his.
Neither expects the other to feel like home.
After surviving the kind of relationship that leaves scars long after the bruises fade, Izabelle Sweet runs in the middle of the night and doesn't stop until she crosses state lines. Michigan is supposed to be her fresh start - a secluded cabin, a quiet job at a newly reopened lodge, and the chance to finally breathe again.
Then she collides - literally - with Mason Davenport, a battle-worn Marine returning home after a final tour that nearly broke him. He's strong, silent, and carrying demons of his own. Their first encounter is accidental. Their second is nothing short of fate.
But danger isn't done with Izzy.
Someone from her past is hunting her.
Someone far more dangerous than she ever knew.
And he's getting closer.
Mason wasn't looking for anyone - especially not a woman who awakens every protective instinct he's spent years trying to bury. But when he finds Izzy terrified and alone in the middle of a storm, something in him shifts. She's fragile... but not weak. Wounded... but still fighting. And he'll do anything to keep her safe - even if it means facing the ghosts he's avoided since the war.
In a small mountain town full of found family, second chances, and secrets waiting to be unearthed, two broken souls collide in a way neither expected - and both desperately need.
But love can't outrun danger.
And safety comes with a price.
THE RUNAWAY AND THE MARINE is an emotional, high-tension romance about healing after trauma, rediscovering hope, and fighting for the kind of love worth surviving for.
