Will She Run (Will of the Heart #1)

A story of love, survival, and the fight to reclaim what’s been lost—Will She Run is an emotional journey through one woman’s battle to confront the past that haunts her and the future she’s desperate to protect.

Adeline “Della” Bennet is running from her past, but the quiet refuge of the Adirondacks offers only a temporary peace. Haunted by the death of her father and the suffocating guilt of leaving her mother in the clutches of an abusive man, Della struggles to find a sense of normalcy. She’s rebuilt her life under a new name, far from the chaos that’s defined her life these last few years, but no matter how far she goes, the secrets she’s buried refuse to stay hidden.

When Della finds herself falling for Caiden, the strong, protective man who refuses to let her go, she realizes that keeping her heart safe might be more difficult than outrunning her past. But her walls are high, and trust doesn’t come easily—not when danger still looms. With an old enemy closing in and the weight of her lies threatening to shatter everything, Della is forced to confront the painful truths she’s kept hidden.

As dark forces tighten their grip, Della must decide if she can trust anyone enough to let them in—or if her only choice is to run again, leaving behind the friends, the life, the one place, and the one person who might finally offer her freedom. In a world where danger is ever-present and safety an illusion, will she find the strength to fight for her future, or will she once again choose to run?
