I’m the bad boy who will stain his soul to keep her safe. She’s a runner. Always has been...at least, she’s always run from me. Our history repeats relentlessly. Longing. Secret trysts. Pounding hearts. Fiery stolen kisses. Her retreating back. Now she’s home, hunted by someone sinister. The lesser of two evils, I’m the unlikely lifeline she reaches for. Becoming her salvation means plunging my hard-won, respectable life into ruin. But I’ve never had the strength to turn away from her hold on me. I’ve always been hers. She’s always been mine. Savannah Bryant has run away from me—from us—for the last time.

Small Town Romance, 2nd chance love, domestic violence - some common tropes but big topics are embraced in this story! There may be TW for Cheating too as the FMC is technically still married but let's face it if we were married to HIM we'd run to our first love too! Jackson and Savanah are complete opposites and have the complete bad boy/good girl/wrong side of the tracks flair. Savannah left Jackson behind and wanted a fresh start - she only seemed to find a new level of fear. The only bright light she has is her daughter. But when she has a brush with danger, she runs to the only safe place she knows! Savannah was his everything, even whn he was too young and dumb to know it. Now she's back and danger is following her. There is no way Jackson is letting her so this time. He'll go directly into the line of fire to protect her and her daughter. A great mix of sweet/smexy, action and emotion. It's great to have a villain that you can just HATE from the get-go!
