Running. It's all Kiera King has ever known. The art of escape, the freedom of movement, and the refuge of the next destination. As a travel writer, she's made it her career, constantly chasing new places, new stories, always outrunning something-until she ends up in the rugged, windswept highlands of Scotland.
There, she meets Elon Sutherland, a tall, grim Scotsman who believes in roots, in grounding, in staying put. His world is a stark contrast to hers, and when their paths collide, it's nothing short of a brutal clash. His rudeness hits her indifference, and neither one is willing to back down. They're not polar opposites, but their worlds are so far apart that they might as well be. They weren't meant to cross paths. Or so they thought.
But life, as it often does, has a way of throwing two people together when they least expect it. As their lives become more intertwined, Kiera begins to feel something she's never allowed herself to-something she can't run from. A forbidden feeling begins to bloom in her heart, the idea of staying, of not running away for the first time in her life. But what happens when a heart that only knows how to be fickle is confronted with the possibility of something real?
Kiera is forced to face the one thing she's spent her whole life avoiding: staying. And as the pull between her and Elon grows stronger, she must decide-will she continue to run, or will she face the hardest challenge of all: staying for love?
