Coles Always the Good Girl....Until: Running From Abuse to Love at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

She ran to save her child. She never expected to find the love that would save her.
Leah has always colored inside the lines-dutiful daughter, faithful wife, patient peacemaker-until the bruises and broken promises force her to do the one thing she swore she'd never do: disappear. With toddler Danny buckled in and fear pounding like a second heartbeat, she points the car toward a wide‑open sky and a ranch job that promises nothing more than safety and a chance to breathe. Tom's world once held everything-his childhood sweetheart, their laughing children, a home built on honest work. Then loss hollowed it out. He keeps the gates shut and his grief quieter than the prairie wind, until a determined young mother with steady hands and a spine of steel steps onto his land and into his life. What begins as wary truce becomes slow, sparking trust as Leah learns to stand without apologizing and Tom learns that loving again isn't betrayal-it's survival.
But the past refuses to stay buried. As Leah rebuilds a fragile haven for Danny, Ryan-the charming boy who became a controlling man-tracks the scent of what he thinks still belongs to him. Threats slither in the dark. Guilt and grief flare into old habits. And out on the range, where storms roll in from a clean horizon and truth travels on the wind, Leah must choose whether she will always be "the good girl"...or finally become the fierce woman who protects her child, claims her worth, and dares to love a man who's learning how to live with his heart wide open. Courage may be quiet, but it's louder than fear-and this time, she isn't running alone
.
Fans of heartfelt small‑town romance, second chances layered with real stakes, and a heroine who refuses to break will devour this tender, high‑tension love story set against sweeping country roads and a working ranch. Always the Good Girl ... Until is a pulse‑tightening, healing‑kiss kind of read-where refuge turns to family, wounds turn to wisdom, and love stands its ground when the past comes calling.
Perfect for readers of Colleen Hoover, Nicholas Sparks, and Catherine Bybee .
