A bestselling romantic suspense novel written to captivate without explicit content.
Go on the Run with BaileyWhat Bailey Is Running From
Bailey Simmons thought marrying Roy, a respected police detective, would keep her safe. Instead, six years of his cruelty and threats have left her isolated, silenced, and certain no one would ever believe her.
Then Roy carries a battered young woman into their home and lets Bailey see. She knows what that means. Time is running out—for both of them.
Her only hope is Killian St. John, a former Navy SEAL who has lost more than most. As Roy evades the FBI and closes in, Bailey and Killian must navigate danger, betrayal, and the fragile trust growing between them.
You can’t appreciate joy unless you’ve passed through sorrow.Gram, Mary St. John

The Song Behind the Story
Through This Closed Door
Bailey once wore a white dress and believed she’d found her Prince Charming. “Through This Closed Door” carries what she can’t say out loud—the painted smile, the silence she keeps, and the strength it takes to even imagine opening the door again.
