When a wrongly convicted ex-convict escapes prison and forces an idealistic small-town teacher to become his unwilling accomplice, neither expects what happens next. Julie's sheltered world collides with Zack's dark cynicism as they're thrust together during a dangerous cross-country journey, and beneath the tension and mistrust, something electric begins to spark between them. As Julie becomes convinced of his innocence and Zack lets down his guard, their forced proximity transforms into something neither can deny—but proving the truth and building trust when everything is stacked against them will require more courage than either has ever had to summon. It's a sweeping romance that captures that thrilling moment when two broken people discover that love might be their greatest salvation.
