Runaway (A New Adventure Begins - Star Elite 4)

by Rebecca King

When her brother disappears, Molly knows it has nothing to do with the recent spate of kidnappings that have plagued Leicestershire and Derbyshire. She knows the real cause is much, much, closer to home, but is no less dangerous. Desperate to find her brother before he is silenced for good, Molly sets out after him, but finds herself facing unfamiliar dark alleys, lies and danger at every quarter. It soon becomes evident she is out of her depth, but with nobody to turn to she must fight for survival and quickly realises she is willing to do whatever it takes to stay alive.

Jasper can't believe his eyes when he is on watch late one night and notices someone who most definitely shouldn't be anywhere near a seedy back alley in one of the most dangerous parts of London. He wants to turn around and forget all about her. After all, anybody stupid enough to put herself in such danger deserves everything she gets, right? Unfortunately, the gentleman within him won't just abandon her and so Jasper reluctantly tries to help this stranded female.

What transpires draws him into a complex web of danger and mystery that threatens not just his life but Molly's, and her brother's too. Can they rescue Oscar before he disappears for good? Can Jasper keep Molly out of the clutches of whoever is trying to kill her? More importantly, can he keep his hands off the decidedly wilful and secretive Miss Molly Egerton before he finds himself facing a completely different future to the one he had planned?
