After being institutionalized for the umpteenth time, Aspen Steel decides it's time for a change. She's been driven to so many things in her life, it's only natural that she's driven away, too.
So that's what she does: she drives. Until she finds herself in the small town of Fair Hollow. A new set of faces and a whole new beginning.
That's what she thought, anyway.
Until she stops eating again. Until the bar she finds a home in is being threatened to close down. Until she meets Hunter Briggs; who doesn't turn out to be who she thinks he is at all.

Runaway Hearts
Lena Lee has spent her entire life living up to impossible expectations. Between excelling in school, helping at her family's bakery, and juggling extracurriculars, she's always been the perfect daughter. But behind the carefully crafted image, she's suffocating under the weight of responsibility. In her teenage years, rebellion became her only escape-late nights, reckless choices, and secrets she could never tell her parents. But eventually, she found her way back, rebuilding trust and securing the future they always wanted for her. Then Caleb Tate walks into her life-a man with a past that should have sent her running. Hardened by betrayal, haunted by the ghosts of his upbringing, Caleb is no stranger to survival. He's spent years entangled in a dangerous world, fighting to break free, but escape comes at a cost. When his path collides with Lena's, neither of them expect the kind of connection that forms between them. What starts as an unlikely alliance soon turns into something more, something real. But the past doesn't let go so easily. As secrets unravel and old enemies resurface, Lena and Caleb are forced into a fight they never saw coming. Together, they must take down the very forces that have controlled Caleb's life for years-all while holding onto the fragile future they're building. In a world where trust is dangerous and love is a risk, *Runaway Hearts* is a story of two people who refuse to be defined by their pasts. It's about sacrifice, second chances, and finding home in the most unexpected places. Because sometimes, the only way to truly be free... is to stop running.
