Raine, Raine, Run Away

Book Blurb:

After a decade away, Raine Wiley is forced to confront her past when a family emergency brings her back to Covewood, Kentucky-the small town she's painstakingly avoided. Her mission: steer clear of Ryland Quinn at all costs. But fate has other plans, entangling her with Ryland as he oversees the renovation of her grandparents' farmhouse-a project she unwittingly signed up to lead. 

Escaping the past is about to prove more complicated than she ever imagined.

Ryland Quinn's world turns sideways when his long-lost love resurfaces. While juggling a thriving construction business and single parenthood, his carefully constructed barriers begin to crumble in the face of Raine's unexpected return. The allure of a second chance at love proves irresistible, tearing down the emotional walls he's built for years.

Told through alternating timelines of then and now, witness the blossoming of teenage friendship between Raine and Ryland, evolving into a deep love that crumbles when Raine abruptly vanishes following their high school graduation. As adults, their forced proximity reignites the spark they both left behind. Yet, Raine and Ryland must confront the pain of the past if they have any chance of moving forward. Will the discovered truths set them free, or will they propel Raine to flee once more?
