WILD HIGHWAY (Runaway #2)
Release Date: June 23rd
Gemma Lane built an empire. Not a small feat, considering her home as a teenager was a makeshift tent in a California junkyard. She’s dedicated her life to turning pennies into millions. She has power, fortune and prestige.
And she’s leaving it all behind.
Gemma is headed across the country in her best friend’s Cadillac when a detour in Montana reunites her with old acquaintances and a man who hasn’t changed. Easton Greer challenges her every word and tests her every limit because he doesn’t believe she’s really abandoned her riches. She ignores his snide remarks and muttered censure—until the day she’s ready to return to the wild highway, and Easton taunts her to stay.
She’ll prove to him she’s not just running back to her wealthy life, that she’s more than her money. She’ll unlock her guarded heart and hope that this time around, he’ll treasure the key.
EXCERPT
I opened the door, a smile still on my face, and collided, headfirst, with a wall of muscle.
“Oh, sorry.” I looked up and my heart stopped.
The smell of leather and aftershave filled my nose. I looked up to see a pair of dark brown eyes hooded by long, onyx lashes. I took in the straight nose, the sharp jaw and strong chin. My gaze dropped to the full lips I’d tasted once, on a night eleven years ago.
I’d never seen a face as symmetrical and so beautifully masculine as Easton Greer’s.
Even when he scowled, like he was now, it was a wonder.
He’d gotten even more handsome. How was that possible? He’d transformed from a young man to just a man, man. Rugged and rough and sexy.
“Gemma.” My name came out as a growl in his deep voice and I tore my gaze away from his mouth, taking a step back.
“Hi,” I breathed, the air heavy and thick.
He took a step away, then another, his glare unwavering.
Easton cast his scowl over his shoulder and spotted the Cadillac. “That yours?”
“Yes.”
“You’re staying here.” Not a question. An accusation. If he had it his way, I’d be uninvited.
I lifted my chin. “Yes, I came to see Katherine.”
His jaw ticked. “I thought we’d gotten rid of you years ago.”
Ouch. I guess he was still pissed about that whole sex in his room and waking up to find me gone.
But, good or bad, he hadn’t forgotten me.
REVIEW
★★★★★
I loved this so much. What a journey! I can’t get enough of second chance romance and this one gave me all the feels! Gemma and Easton might be my new favourite DP couple and one I won’t forget for a very long time.
I love the premise of this series. A group of runaways that lived out of this old Cadillac whom have made something of themselves but are using the old car to reconnect with their past and find love along the way.
Gemma has not had it easy in life. From 16 years old she has had to figure life out on her own with no parental support but instead met a group of runaways and they made their own family amongst each other. Gemma has fought and came out on top and is now running a successful business but is realizing that her career is not the only thing she needs anymore to feel fulfilled and hence a road trip begins. What starts as a road trip to an old country farm to mend a friendship turns into so much more than she bargained for when she comes across her old flame, Easton Greer.
Gemma and Easton were all consuming. So many emotions and feels between these two. The enemies to lovers fibe was strong at first! Their chemistry was emotional, intense and off the charts! Although Easton resisted Gemma’s return to his life eventually he sees how perfect she is/always was for him and this connection between them I adored.
If you love a small town romance with a bit of drama, lots of swoon and all the feels, this one is for you!
