Gemma Lane built an empire. Not a small feat, considering her home as a teenager was a makeshift tent in a California junkyard. She’s dedicated her life to turning pennies into millions. She has power, fortune and prestige.
And she’s leaving it all behind.
Gemma is headed across the country in her best friend’s Cadillac when a detour in Montana reunites her with old acquaintances and a man who hasn’t changed. Easton Greer challenges her every word and tests her every limit because he doesn’t believe she’s really abandoned her riches. She ignores his snide remarks and muttered censure—until the day she’s ready to return to the wild highway, and Easton taunts her to stay.
She’ll prove to him she’s not just running back to her wealthy life, that she’s more than her money. She’ll unlock her guarded heart and hope that this time around, he’ll treasure the key.
Devney, Devney, Devney – this book is WOW!! I love this story sooooo much!!
Wild Highway is the second book in Devney’s Runaway series is a complete standalone. It’s a second-chance romance that will you feeling everything.
You know the book is amazing when you get butterflies and goosebumps are all over you as you read the story. I could not put this book down once I started it. Gemma and Easton had me in their grasps from the very beginning.
Gemma became a runaway as child and when she took a leap of faith in her early adult years, she has turned every penny earned and every lesson learned, into the millionaire she is today. However, she is just as lost today as she was as a runaway teen.
Gemma decides to drive her friend’s Cadillac across the country after selling her business to continue on the journey her friend started. However, she decides to take a detour to Montana to find an old friend and make amends for what she did so many years ago. However, it’s also where she’ll find Easton Greer, the man who challenges her at every moment.
I loved this story so much. Gemma and Easton truly know how to get under the other’s skin just the right way. They enjoy riling the other up just as much as they fight the chemistry between them. I enjoyed seeing these two fit seamlessly together and not recognize it til it’s almost too late. Gemma and Easton balance one another out in so many ways – ways you have to read about because I won’t give any more away.
Devney has delivered another heart-warming and amazing story with Wild Highway. Her writing is one a kind and I know that when I read her stories, I am going to see the words come to life in my head. Devney has easily become a go-to author for me.
EXCERPT
I opened the door, a smile still on my face, and collided, headfirst, with a wall of muscle.
“Oh, sorry.” I looked up and my heart stopped.
The smell of leather and aftershave filled my nose. I looked up to see a pair of dark brown eyes hooded by long, onyx lashes. I took in the straight nose, the sharp jaw and strong chin. My gaze dropped to the full lips I’d tasted once, on a night eleven years ago.
I’d never seen a face as symmetrical and so beautifully masculine as Easton Greer’s.
Even when he scowled, like he was now, it was a wonder.
He’d gotten even more handsome. How was that possible? He’d transformed from a young man to just a man, man. Rugged and rough and sexy.
“Gemma.” My name came out as a growl in his deep voice and I tore my gaze away from his mouth, taking a step back.
“Hi,” I breathed, the air heavy and thick.
He took a step away, then another, his glare unwavering.
Easton cast his scowl over his shoulder and spotted the Cadillac. “That yours?”
“Yes.”
“You’re staying here.” Not a question. An accusation. If he had it his way, I’d be uninvited.
I lifted my chin. “Yes, I came to see Katherine.”
His jaw ticked. “I thought we’d gotten rid of you years ago.”
Ouch. I guess he was still pissed about that whole sex in his room and waking up to find me gone.
But, good or bad, he hadn’t forgotten me.
