Life on the run has become second nature to Annalise Crockett. When a teaching position at a small university in the English countryside falls in
her lap, she jumps at the chance. After all, what better place to hide?
To safeguard herself even more, she signs up for a self-defense class. As luck would have it the class is being taught by former football player Graham Whittington-James, the exact football player Annalise had cheered for in her days at university in England. Graham is instantly intrigued by her. He sees how broken, skittish and introverted she is, even though he senses this is not her true self. He can’t help wanting to protect her, to take care of her. He is determined to gain her trust, find out why she has all the walls and defenses, and help build her up again.
Just as she begins to let down her walls and let Graham in, the familiar sense of being watched returns. It doesn’t take long for her to know the reason she has stayed on the run has returned once more. This time, will it be different? This time, will she stand her ground? Or will Graham lose her forever?

Annalise Crockett is on the run from her abusive ex-boyfriend. Everywhere she goes, he always seems to find her no matter what she does.
When an opportunity arises for her to go to England, she leaves everything behind. Annalise hopes this will be far enough away this time.
Annalise takes a job as a professor at a university in the countryside. She has a great new place to live and great people to work with.
Annalise decides to take a self-defense class taught by a former football player, Graham, that she had a crush on when she was taking classes at university in England back in the day.
Graham is immediately intrigued with the beautiful foreigner in his self-defense class. He can tell something is off with her though, and he is determined to protect her.
Graham and Annalise start to spend time together and soon fall in love. Unfortunately, Annalise’s past catches up with her, and she is in danger once again.
I really loved this story. It was a fairly quick read but it was full of emotion and action.
I definitely recommend this sweet love story to read!
