Runaways by Nicole Dykes

Note from the Author

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for reading Runaways! I hope you enjoyed Law and Rae! I know their story was heavy at times, and I hope it healed instead of hurt anyone who needed it.

I love their story. They’re young, but it needed to be told. Abuse happens. And no one should feel trapped in their own home. I want everyone to have the courage to speak up when they need help, no matter what is happening to them.

I want to thank all my readers for putting up with my craziness and for reading all my different types of stories because I cannot help myself. I have to try new things. This story was new for me because they were so young for most of the story. Usually, I don’t like to write younger characters, but Rae and Law were a blast.

And yes, this was supposed to be a standalone, but in usual Nicole fashion, I fell in love with a couple of the characters. So, Nash and Hayden will each get their own book! I mean, come on! You have to be a little curious about who hurt Nash so badly in the past, right?

I’m so excited! Thank you all so much! Thank you to Sarah for designing my gorgeous cover and Elizabeth for formatting it. Thank you to Dena for putting up with me! I know, I’m a nut, and you STILL stick by me! I don’t get it but thank you!

To all the bloggers and bookstagrammers, you mean the world to me! Thank you for taking a chance on me. I still can’t believe it when I message someone because I love their art and ask if they will review my book and they write me back! It’s insane!

Thank you to all the Nicole’s Novelties! I truly love you all. You keep me going. Thank you to anyone who picked this book up and read it to the end. Even if you didn’t love it, thank you. It means so much to me that people read the words I write.

Elle Belle, Ari, and Emma, you all know how I feel, so I’m not gonna say it all again. But hey, thanks buddies!

Thank you to my husband and my girls for putting up with me through my insanity of thinking I could write four books in four months. I apologize. Love you all to the moon and back.

I love you all! Stay safe and happy!
