The Runaway

He's been on the run for most of his life, but a chance encounter in a small-town diner is about to change everything…

Michael Barrett is on the run with a bag full of stolen money and a bullet wound in his side. He'll do anything to get as far away from his mob boss as possible. It's time for a fresh start. Time to turn his life around and start being the man his grandpa would have wanted him to be… if he can survive the night…

Annie's on a perpetual mission to survive her nights. Stuck in this small town with an abusive stepfather and a little brother she'll do anything to protect, she squirrels her meager savings away in the hope of one day escaping to a better life. And then a tall, mysterious man who is handsome enough to steal her breath away, faints in her diner and she's left with a choice…

For reasons she can't even explain, Annie decides to help this stranger and hide him away in the attic while he heals. Something about him captures her heart, and as he slowly recovers from his injuries, the two survivors start to fall in love. But are these stolen moments of joy enough to withstand the danger coming their way?

Michael's grand plans of rescuing Annie, and her brother, and whisking them away to a better life are thrown into chaos when the men set on ending him show up and threaten to take the most precious thing of all—Annie. 

For once in his life, Michael must stop running. It's time to make a stand… and save the woman he loves…
