#1 in murder mystery (17/09/25) They didn't choose the road. But it's the only way to survive. Adriana Vale is used to running from the past. But this time, she's running for her life, alongside a man who never asked to be her protector. Aron saved her when no one else would. Quiet, capable, and fiercely loyal, he's the kind of man who doesn't back down. Not from danger. Not from the truth. Not even when the weight of it could crush them both. Now they're fugitives, tangled in secrets they barely understand, and sleeping with one eye open in borrowed beds and backseat hideouts. The only thing more dangerous than what's chasing them is what's building between them. Because trust is a risk. And falling in love while the world is burning? That might be the most reckless escape of all.
