Never Looking Back: A Small-Town Escape Romance

Maggie had one goal: get as far away from her small town as possible.Away from the gossip.Away from the rumors.Away from the man who always seemed to control the story before she ever got the chance to tell her side.With everything she owns packed into the trunk of her car, a burnt CD playing through the speakers, and no real destination in mind, Maggie finally leaves.Then a flat tire strands her at an Illinois rest stop.That's where she meets Luke.Confident, annoyingly observant, and way too attractive for someone she has absolutely no intention of trusting, Luke is supposed to be nothing more than a stranger who helps her change a tire.Instead, one unexpected meeting turns into texts, teasing, stolen glances, almost-kisses, and a connection Maggie never planned for.But leaving home doesn't mean the past stays behind.As Maggie travels farther west, she begins to realize that someone may be following her-and the life she thought she escaped may be much closer than she thinks.Now she has to decide whether she is going to keep running or finally stop long enough to fight for the life she actually wants.Never Looking Back is a slow-burn romantic suspense novel about starting over, learning to trust again, dangerous secrets, undeniable chemistry, and discovering that sometimes the hardest part of leaving is believing you deserve something better.
