Melody Crawford came to Iron Creek for a fresh start?not forever.
She was supposed to stay just long enough to catch her breath, figure out her next move, and disappear before anyone looked too closely. But Iron Creek has a way of pulling people in... especially when they find friendship, purpose, and a man who feels like home.
Jake Springfield has spent his life staying put?working hard, protecting his people, and keeping his dreams safely tucked away. Falling for the town's newest transplant was never part of the plan. Neither was falling for a woman who's clearly running from something she won't name.
As Melody's past starts closing in, the secrets she's kept threaten more than her future?they put everything she's built in Iron Creek at risk. Trust, once broken, isn't easily repaired. And sometimes the hardest part of love isn't choosing each other... it's choosing to stay.
Running Home is a heartfelt, closed-door small-town romance about second chances, found family, and discovering that the bravest thing you can do is stop running.
