Running Out

Three years should have also been enough time for Lily to forget what it felt like to kiss Sam—and for the tension between them to finally fade. But some things refuse to stay in the past.

Lily isn't sure what's worse—the way Sam acted after they kissed, or the fact that no one she's dated since has come close to the connection she felt with him that night.

Determined to focus on her future—and avoid another dead-end relationship—Lily makes a pact with her friends: no dating until she finishes veterinary school.

And it would have worked, too—until the day she finds a skinny, lame Thoroughbred mare—whose only chance at a second life is in Lily's hands.

Now, as Lily spends more time at the barn where Sam works, rehabilitating Eva—and searching for the people responsible for abandoning and abusing her—burying her feelings for Sam becomes impossible. Feelings she knows are unrequited.

Because Sam is hiding secrets—deep, dark ones even his closest friends don't know. Secrets that may be the reason he can never be with her… no matter how strong the connection between them.

And when the truth finally comes out, it's more dangerous—and more complex—than Lily ever imagined.
