The Cape Trouble series is an original romantic suspense novel from RITA-Award-winning author Janice Kay Johnson, the second installment in the Cape Trouble series. Known for delivering stories that combine strong, realistic characters, compelling mysteries and deeply emotional romances, Johnson once again delivers in SEE HOW SHE RUNS.
When it's never safe to stop running...
Cape Trouble, a tiny Oregon Coast town, was named for the dangerous off-shore reefs. But some of its citizens seek refuge from their own troubles... which have a way of following them.
One night, in her upscale California restaurant, Naomi Kendrick overheard powerful men plotting a political assassination. To save her life, she made a bargain with the devil... and then ran.
Inevitably, she is found. More than one enemy descends on Cape Trouble to learn her secrets... and silence Naomi once and for all.
Detective Adam Rostov suspects she stabbed his partner to death in her restaurant kitchen. Pursuing her to Cape Trouble, he arrives just in time to rescue her from an assault. He conceals his real purpose in Cape Trouble to stay close to her. Because if he can't keep her alive, he'll never find out if she's innocent or guilty.
Naomi's instincts scream, Run, but too late, because Adam isn't about to let her go. Not when he has begun to believe she is a victim and not a killer. Not when she is irresistible bait to draw a contract killer, a corrupt U.S. Congressman, and a crooked federal agent. And not when, despite all common sense, he's falling in love with the mysterious chef.
Once Naomi discovers Adam too has been hunting her, she must decide. Run and keep running, or trust him to keep her safe? Of course, once he knows her darkest secret, he may no longer want to protect her...
