She planned her escape to the last detail—she didn’t plan on falling in love.

“What a tangled web! An intricate plot of mystery and suspense. James deftly combines romance and suspense, so hop on for an exhilarating ride.”  
~ Sandra Garcia-Myers, 4 Stars, RT Book Reviews

Megan Thomas wants to get lost—preferably in someone else’s life. But can she really escape the terror of her past, to grab onto some hope of a future?

Leaving Chicago and her mob-connected husband behind, she assumes a new identity. She planned her escape to the last detail—but she didn’t plan on Smyth Parker.

Smyth Parker is already lost. And he sure as hell doesn’t need a complication like Megan Thomas in his life. He wants nothing from no one and expects to live out his life in solitude. But when Megan fears her husband has found her, she runs again, and no detailed plan can save her this time. When she runs blindly into Smyth’s arms, he has no choice but to protect her.

Can two people running away from life, figure out how to trust each other enough to live?
