Runaway Love Summary & Overview

When Veronica Sutton receives a misplaced sext from her groom moments before walking down the aisle, she bolts from a society wedding and straight into a diner, a town, and a family that feel startlingly like home. Austin Buckley, a single dad of seven-year-old twins, needs help for the summer—he just doesn’t think a runaway bride in sneakers and a strapless gown is it. Then he hires her, sets strict boundaries, and loses every last one. Set in Cherry Tree Harbor, Runaway Love delivers a slow-burn, small-town romance filled with sharp banter, tender parenting, and second chances that don’t feel second at all.

Who Should Listen to Runaway Love?

  • Fans of small‑town, single‑dad romances with humor and heat
  • Listeners who love strong heroines, big families, and grumpy‑soft heroes
  • Anyone who believes everyday care is the sexiest plot twist
