Nora Hastings is on the run. For years, she’s been moving from place to place, hiding herself away from the terror of her past. She’s prepared to lay low until it’s time to take off again, always glancing over her shoulder, always making sure her doors are locked. But she isn’t prepared to run headfirst into Ford Armstrong. Ford Armstrong, owner of Berserkr Gym, has always been a ladies man. He’s big, muscular, and, above all, charming. But after watching his best friend crash right into true love, he’s starting to tire of one-night-stands and women who only want one thing from him. And then Nora walks into his gym. Nora comes to Berserkr to learn how to protect herself, but she never expected to have to protect her heart. She’s used to running, but she’s not used to wanting to stay.
