Willa Frederick didn’t come to Camden for love—she came to escape it.
After a devastating breakup, Willa returns to her small hometown on the Maine coast. The weathered house left to her by her estranged father is the perfect place to hide from heartbreak, its renovation a welcome distraction. But it doesn’t take long to realize she’s just traded one mess for another.
As Willa works to rebuild a life she no longer recognizes, she finds small town connection in unexpected places—with the kid next door who keeps showing up uninvited, the no-nonsense shop owner with zero filter, and with Ethan Hayes, the quiet local handyman who offers to help her fix what’s broken. But as her romantic feelings for Ethan deepen, she discovers that he’s been keeping a secret of his own. And when Willa learns the truth, the past she’s running from becomes painfully tangled with the present.
Set in a coastal harbor town in the heat of summer, Runaway Season is a heartfelt, second chance romance about betrayal, redemption, and the unexpected ways we find our way home. Perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover and Lucy Score, this emotional page-turner explores the ways we rebuild after breaking—and what happens when love meets us exactly where we are.
