Walking Away

Her husband was handsome, charming, wealthy—every woman’s dream. Until the night he vowed to bury her where no one would find her.

Now she’s fled into the Blue Ridge Mountains, desperate for a fresh start in a place so small and quiet she hopes her past can’t follow. She keeps to herself, trying to build a life that feels safe again.

But Sheriff Burke Scott sees what she tries to hide—the way she jumps at headlights sweeping across her window, the way she checks over her shoulder, and the way his K-9, Rosie, stiffens at shadows no one else notices. Burke doesn’t know her full story, but instinct tells him she’s running from something dark… and that it isn’t over.

When a blacked-out luxury SUV appears on her dead-end road and a private jet touches down at the mountain strip, she knows the nightmare she escaped has found her. And this time, he didn’t come to talk.

Now the only one standing between her and the man hunting her is the small-town sheriff who’s beginning to mean more to her than she intended. As danger closes in, she must decide whether to keep running—or trust someone with the truth before it’s too late.

Walking Away is a gripping romantic thriller for fans of Colleen Hoover and Lisa Gardner—where small-town secrets, mountain shadows, and slow-burning attraction collide with a past that refuses to stay buried.
