Running Scared

Although newly divorced Ashley Adams thinks her ex-husband is trying to kill her, she's not Running Scared. Months of therapy and determination have strengthened her resolve to stop being a victim, while months of dedicated training have prepared her to run her first marathon.

Homicide detective Rick Edwards is coping with the deaths of his wife and daughter the only way he knows how—by focusing on his work. He is hoping to solve the murder Ashley witnessed during a training run, but will she help? He remembers her as an abuse victim who refused his help years earlier. This time he must win her trust while keeping her safe from a killer, even if he has to escort her to the marathon in Washington, D.C.

But it doesn't take Rick long to realize Ashley Adams is no longer a damsel in distress. In fact, she may be the one woman who can save him. With Ashley, he finds danger but also hope. Has he found love, too?
