Megan Thomas is running for her life. From Chicago, from the mob, from her controlling husband. She runs to the only place she ever felt at peace, a North Carolina barrier island she remembers from her childhood. Now she only wants to get lost-lost in someone else's life. A new identity, soothing ocean winds, and a quiet existence are all she needs. Smyth Parker is running from life. From the business he inherited, from society, from an ex-wife scorned. His only escape is the solitude of uninhabited Portsmouth Island. He doesn't want anything else. And he sure as hell doesn't need a complication named Megan Thomas. When Megan fears she's been found, she runs again-and straight into Smyth's arms. His isolated island home might finally be her perfect escape. Or is it?

Rodeo took him from her once. Will it take him again? It's been a decade since Garth Nash left the Triple R Ranch to become a bull riding star. Now he's back home to pay his final respects to the man he'd loved like a father, and to console the pesky tomboy he'd loved like a little sister. But there's nothing pesky or boyish about Amarilla Ray now. She's a gorgeous, barrel-racing cowgirl who knows exactly what she wants-to compete at the Cowgirl Classic. Just once. And then she can get on with the rest of her life. Rilla had loved Garth like a big brother all those years ago, but today, her feelings are taking turns in a whole new direction, and suddenly it feels like Garth just might be the rest of her life. But rodeo took him from her once. And she knows he's bound to leave again. Can she take the risk and fall in love? Can he? Or will rodeo win out again, and leave them both broken?
