Release date: May 20, 2026 Two strangers. One shared refuge. Navy SEAL KC thought his four-week leave would be peaceful—just him, his uncle’s beach house, and some much-needed R&R. Instead, he walks into his temporary sanctuary to find a beautiful, desperate woman who clearly has nowhere else to go. Moriah has been running for her life, bouncing from town to town, always one step ahead of the people searching for her. When KC finds her, she spins a story about fleeing an abusive ex-boyfriend—anything to keep him from digging deeper into the truth she’s desperate to hide. As the two become reluctant housemates, KC offers to help Moriah learn how to defend herself. But when her past finally catches up with her, will KC be able to accept the truth behind her lies? And will Moriah be able to trust him with her life? To stay means risking everything. To run means losing the only man who’s ever made her feel safe. ****This story has been previously published under the title Her Secret by Samantha Cole (©2016).
