We need to run, get him back to his pride, and hope I can convince them to hide me.From the moment I was born, I was destined to run. I just pray I’m fast enough to outrun my fate.This is a HEA Standalone, 18+ RH novel, which means our leading lady doesn't need to choose between her love interests. While there are numbers attached to the series, it is simply because it is a shared universe. ANY books in this series, by either myself or Sterling, will be HEA standalones following a different group of people, but with fun cameo appearances. less
