When I planned a cross-country road trip to my new duty station, I never expected to have a gorgeous runaway bride and her brilliant thirteen-year-old along for the ride.
A family friend needs me to save her niece from a bad situation, so she begs me to bring her and her daughter across the country with me.
I’m already headed that way, so it doesn’t seem like a big deal.
Of course, I’m regretting it within the first ten minutes.
Experience has taught me the bright side is nothing but a distraction from the truth, and despite everything they’ve been through, these two can see the bright side of anything from a mile away.
But as the miles go on, Nikki’s starting to worm her way under my skin and into my heart.
Every time she giggles at my cynical jokes or launches us into a detour I never knew I needed, I fall even harder.
And her daughter?
She’s way cooler than she gives herself credit for, and the need to encourage her to be herself becomes shockingly important to me.
One week.
It was only supposed to be one little week that I’d be trapped in a car with this mother-daughter bundle of sunshine.
But the closer we get to our final destination, the slower I find myself driving.
Because maybe she’s right.
Maybe it is all about the journey.
And if so, I don’t want this one to end.
The Runaway is a small-town military romance, written in first person with alternating POVs. This clean romance has all the feels and swoony kisses, and can be read as a standalone or as part of the Brides of Beaufort series.
