She's running from her past. He's hiding from his. Together, they might just find their future. When Kate Dawson leaves her groom at the altar and speeds out of Bozeman with nothing but her wedding dress and a mountain of regret, she doesn't have a plan-just a desperate need to start over. Her escape leads her to Riverbend Valley, a sleepy Montana town that feels worlds away from the chaos she's left behind. Enter Caleb Morgan, the reclusive cowboy of Silver Bluff Ranch. Haunted by a tragedy that's shaped his quiet, faith-filled life, Caleb has mastered the art of staying invisible. When the Walkers, the ranch's warm-hearted owners, take Kate in and offer her a job, Caleb is tasked with showing her the ropes-and keeping their arrangement strictly professional.

She keeps her secrets, he keeps his distance. Easy, right? But as Kate throws herself into ranch life-braving dawn chores, fixing fences, and learning to lasso-she finds herself drawn to Caleb's steady presence and quiet strength. And as much as Caleb wants to guard his heart, Kate's warmth and determination chip away at his carefully built walls. Just as their budding connection starts to feel like home, Kate's past comes barreling into town, threatening to destroy the fragile new life she's built. Will Caleb step out of the shadows to fight for the woman who's given him hope again? And will Kate find the courage to stop running and trust in the love God has placed in her path? Runaway in Riverbend is a heartfelt blend of swoon-worthy romance, small-town charm, and the healing power of faith. Filled with rugged cowboys, a cozy ranch setting, and second-chance love, this is a story of forgiveness, hope, and finding where you truly belong.
