In the middle of the night, I ran with nothing but a fractured plan and a little boy I promised myself I would protect at any cost. I ran until I reached Sage River, which felt like the safest place to be in the middle of nowhere. We needed to start over, leave our muddied past behind and start fresh. I just didn’t expect to meet the county Sheriff the day I arrived. Beau Butler is gorgeous and kind, but he’s also the Sheriff, and I have no doubt my ex is looking for me, spinning the story to make it sound like I’m the bad guy. The last person I should be spending all my time with is the same Sheriff, who, if he knew who I was, would haul me straight to jail and call my ex to come and get our son. So, why can’t I stay away? But as good at running as I am, my past will catch up to me, and it won’t just be my heart on the line when it does. It’ll also be my son’s safety here in Sage River. Can I do what it takes to protect him, or will I have to walk away from the man I love? This is a short, medium heat single mom instalove romance with HEA guaranteed.
