LOVE IS SCARY WHEN YOU’RE HELLBENT ON OUTRUNNING YOUR PAST…

Jenna Andersen is the type of woman you might feel threatened by—if you didn’t know all her secrets. She’s gorgeous, charismatic, and a successful entrepreneur. But her polished exterior hides a lifetime of self-doubt. Jenna’s haunted by dyslexia she’s been told makes her “less than,” a family that never understood her, and dreams of becoming an artist she buried long ago. As for love, that’s reserved for the characters in her favorite rom-coms. She thought she’d found it once, but she was wrong.

Why face your troubles, though, when you can flee from them? She’s earned the nickname “Runaway Jenna” for a reason. Launching an interior design business in Chicago should be her fresh start, but the success she’s worked so hard for feels superficial. Then a whim leads her back to her love of painting—and into a friendship with warm, insightful Vanessa, who sees Jenna’s true worth. And when sparks fly the moment she locks eyes with her charming new neighbor, Charlie, she wonders whether she’s finally ready to open her heart.

But love demands courage, and Jenna’s spent years avoiding her pain. Faced with a city that feels like home, a career crossroads, and the guy who’s literally the man of her dreams, she must decide: play it safe, or risk everything for the chance at a happy ending.
