Don't Run Away — Vania Rheault

But that doesn't stop Dane Montgomery from trying. Bitter, disillusioned, and burnt out, he needs a break and hires Nikki Halstead to be the manager of his running shoe store. Sparks fly, and despite her reluctance and his misgivings, Dane pursues her. 

Nikki Halstead swore she would never date her boss, and for a time, she succeeds. But after being involved in a horrifying incident, Nikki is reminded of what matters most and decides to trust Dane with her heart. What she doesn't count on is having to deal with the demons of his past. 

When an old flame makes an unexpected appearance, Dane will have to decide if Nikki is worth fighting for, or if he'll keep running and let his past determine his future.
