Ruthie Campbell thought she could outrun her past by hiding behind a new name and a quiet job as a receptionist at a private security firm in Georgia. But secrets have a way of surfacing—and when a dangerous stalker and a vengeful family come looking for her, Ruthie’s carefully built life starts to crumble.
Enter Jack Hutchinson: former Army Ranger, her best friend’s brother, and the only man Ruthie can’t seem to keep at a safe distance. As the threats close in and sparks ignite between them, Ruthie has to decide if she’s willing to trust Jack with her heart—and her survival—or risk losing the future she never thought she deserved.
