A lump filled her throat, but she ignored it. All she had to do was ship her meager belongings to Seattle and hand her keys over to the landlord of her small apartment-four tiny rooms that had been her home for the past three years. She’d never have set foot in the offices of Clark & Clark again. In two days Kat planned to leave Boston-and the nightmare she’d been living-behind. And he had not only the IRS after him but other, more sinister adversaries-loan sharks and bookies and the like. Tyrell, a brilliant lawyer, also loved women, drink, and a friendly, if fatal, wager at the race track. The staff that had once filled eight offices now occupied just two. The elder Clark, Tyrell Senior, had died just two years before and new there was only his son to carry on the tradition. Only the soft rumble of the building’s tired furnace and the muted sounds of traffic outside disturbed the silence in the once-hallowed halls of Clark & Clark. She’d heard his heavy tread on the back stairs just forty minutes before, and though he hadn’t paused at her desk, hadn’t so much as glanced in her direction as he’d beelined to his office, she knew she couldn’t leave without collecting her last paycheck and a letter of recommendation. She’d agreed to work late, hoping that he wouldn’t return, but she hadn’t been so lucky. His desk lamp shined through the opaque barrier. She glanced at the pebbled-glass door to Tyrell Clark’s office. Now for the hard part-saying good-bye and making a quick exit. Kate Summers pulled the last page from her word processor and dropped it with the others in her OUT basket. Soon the past Kate thought she could outrun will explode, unearthing a legacy of lies and treachery, and a fury powerful enough to kill… And the one man Kate is tempted to trust has dangerous secrets that could change her world forever.
But Daegan has his own past to hide-one with shocking ties to hers.Ī KILLER WILL ALWAYS FIND YOU… Someone is watching Kate, watching her son, and is willing to go to any lengths to claim him. Then Daegan O’Rourke arrives in town and strikes up a friendship with her and Jon. Still, she is haunted by the fear that he will somehow be taken away. OR HOW FAR YOU GO… Fifteen years later, Kate has built a good life for herself and her son, Jon, in Hopewell, Oregon. All Kate Summers has to do is agree to one condition-she must disappear from Boston and never breathe a word about the adoption to anyone. NO MATTER HOW FAST YOU RUN… The newborn baby boy is beautiful, perfect, and hers for the asking. Originally titled WISHES, now, with the suspense ramped up, titled: RUNNING SCARED #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson draws readers into a tension-filled story of suspense, as a woman’s secret past returns with a vengeance.
