Six years ago, she ran to the wrong man. Now her heart is begging her to stop running from the right one. But how do you trust a heart that's led you astray before?

Tori

If you pulled me aside on my wedding day and asked me where I saw myself in four years' time, I'd never have guessed it would be here: an unemployed, single mom and domestic abuse survivor.

Between the violent end of my marriage and the birth of my daughter, life felt like a constant paddle through a swamp of setbacks. But then my ex, with his great job and perfect house and even more perfect fiance, filed for sole custody of our daughter. And paddling through the swamp shifted to drowning in it.

Until a life jacket appeared. The very same annoying, hilarious, obscenely attractive 6'2 life jacket I'd spent years running from...

Tyler

She was my best friend until I begged her not to marry him, begged her to run. I never thought she'd end up running from me. So when she walked back into my life, with a baby on her hip and in need of a knight who looked good on paper, I did what any rational person would do: I offered to be her fake fiance. And together, we happily leaned into this elaborate bluff to keep her daughter safe from her abusive ex husband.

But somewhere between faking it for family court and kisses that have never felt like pretend to me, one thing became achingly clear: I needed Tori Baker to stop running from me, and run to me instead.
