She's long since given up her career with the CIA, but Grace Archer is about to live in fear again.  A ruthless madman wants her dead; worse, he's targeting her eight-year-old daughter, Frankie.  Grace's expertise with horses is the key reason behind the madman's hunt.  He wants his pair of Arabian horses trained, but the CIA has never been able to figure out why the horses are so important to him.  Grace and Frankie flee for their lives before his strike occurs, and Grace is livid to find the CIA isn't helping her out.

Jake Kilmer isn't about to watch Grace endure a narrow escape alone.  He becomes Grace and Frankie's protector, whether she trusts him or not.  With his cunning team in action, a plan to take down the madman and keep Grace and Frankie safe.  Grace is toting a five-million dollar bounty and Frankie's is a whopping three-million.  With Grace worried about being pulled back into Jake's life, can she trust in him to save both hers and her daughter's?

ON THE RUN is action-packed, thrilling, and romantic.  Grace is a tough cookie, but Frankie's quiet strength makes her a perfect character for the future.  I had a hard time breaking away from the novel to fit in the mundane daily chores!

I hope Ms. Johansen will consider bringing Frankie back in the future.  I think Frankie could be a top-notch romantic suspense heroine.
