The Runaway

'Ridiculously perfect read! A hint of danger, a sinfully sexy and possessive hockey player, a sassy on the run bride, a heartwarming found-family vibe, so much sexy and fun banter, with just enough emotional baggage to wreck you, and it's written flawlessly with a can't get enough plot. Roxanne Tully has completely nailed it with this book!' @karisbookstodevour, 5*

When Pepper Woods left Hideaway Springs nearly a decade ago, it was good riddance. The polished homecoming queen and class president was far too 'city girl' for my likes, anyway.

I barely even noticed when she got engaged to the President's son.

Now, she's back in town. And she's just walked into my father's inn, with a veil tucked under her arm.

I should walk away. I've got hockey practice in an hour and she's the last person I need distracting me. So why does she wind up pressed against me on the back of my motorcycle?

And how have I ended up as her fake fiancé?

🏒 Small Town Romance

💍 Runaway Bride
