Books like Runaway Honeymoon by Ruth Jean Dale
Jenny Wolf’s youthful romance with the handsome Cole Stadler ends abruptly after a holiday, leaving her with a stubborn scar. Six years later, she reappears in Cripple Creek as a hotel employee and discovers that Cole has become the owner of the historic hotel where she now works.
Cole still remembers the instant she fled and holds resentment, yet he is also clearly drawn to the idea of a future with her—on terms more generous than their past. Jenny is torn: she longs to escape the drama of the past, but she also feels the pull of a renewed bond that could mean a fresh start. She must decide whether to keep the secret she’s kept for five years and risk seeing Cole discover the truth.
Set against the picturesque backdrop of a Colorado frontier hotel, this tale delves into themes of love, forgiveness, and the challenges of moving forward after heartbreak.
