Free to Run

She dared herself into disaster.
He’s the one man she can’t out-negotiate.
A steamy small-town, enemies-to-lovers, workplace romance with dark secrets, sharp edges, and a love that refuses to be denied.

Alison Freeman met Keene Marshall because of a dare she immediately regretted.

As her family’s corporate lawyer, Alison destroys the idea of love the same way she destroys contracts—cleanly, brutally, and without hesitation. Letting Keene in was the first crack in her armor. And now he’s tangled himself into her family, her thoughts, and the emotions she’s fought to keep buried.

Keene Marshall knows their time together left a mark—one Alison doesn’t want to acknowledge. Arrogant, intense, and far too self-aware, he hasn’t decided where she fits in his life… only that she will. Their chemistry is too explosive to walk away from.

But opening himself up after shutting down for years?
That’s the challenge he never expected.
Finding her again forces him to confront his past, her walls, and the truth he hates most—he wants something real.

Alison doesn’t trust Keene.
She doesn’t trust desire.
She barely trusts herself.

But every time he touches her, she’s flung into a race for the one finish line she swore she’d never cross: falling in love.
