Fugitive Files

Thea

I'm fine. Really. My latest breakup? Not a big deal. Which is why I still took the trip—the one where I was supposed to get engaged. Alone. Totally normal.

Getting mugged in Mexico? Also not a big deal. Sure, I can't remember where I'm staying, but I'll figure it out. I always do. At least there's a broody, mysterious stranger who says he'll help me.

Problem is… I'm not sure he's on my side—especially when our faces start showing up on the news for a crime we didn't commit.

He's guarded. Dangerous. And definitely hiding something. But whatever secrets he's keeping—and whatever trouble keeps finding us—I don't have a choice. If I want to make it home alive…I have to trust him.

I don't fail missions. Ever. So how did this one spiral so far out of control? It was supposed to be easy. Get the drive and get out. But my contact is gone. Enemies are closing in. And somehow, I've picked up a civilian who has no idea what she's walked into.

Now Thea is my responsibility, and while getting her home safely should be simple, things only get worse around every turn. She looks at me like I'm more than what I am. Like I'm someone worth trusting. Wanting. I'm not. I walked away from every relationship that mattered six years ago—and I'm not looking for another one.

But the longer this mission drags on, the harder it gets to remember why. The mission has shifted. Get Thea home, before they catch us. But what if it's not safe there either? How long will I have to protect her? Runaway Rule is an light-hearted adventure romantic comedy full of mystery and chaos.
