DARE TO RUN

The first book in a contemporary series featuring a toughened heroine, an ex-con hero and his life of crime.

Lucas Donahue is not ashamed of his criminal past, but after a brief stint in prison, he’s ready to go legit and live a normal life. The problem is, no one leaves the gang without permission—even if he is one of the boss’s top men. Plus someone’s placed a hit on him. And then there’s that feisty little bartender who’s going to cause him even more trouble.

Heidi Greene knows to keep her distance from a ladies’ man like Lucas—even if she can’t keep her eyes off him. When he rescues her from an attack in the alley outside her bar, she’s forced to stay by his side for safety. But the longer she spends time with him, the greater her chances are for getting hurt in more ways than one.

Jen McLaughlin is the New York Times bestselling self-published author of the Out of Line new adult novels, which had sold 175,000 copies at the time we’d acquired the Sons of Steel series. We’re absolutely thrilled to have her join NAL, and can’t wait to break her out in an even bigger way. DARE TO RUN is perfect for fans of Joanna Wylde and Katie Ashley, and we own two more books in the series. Book 2, DARE TO STAY, is scheduled for August 2, 2016, and Book 3 tentatively for February 2017.
