ABOUT THE BOOK
When Trouble Finds You
Some people are warned for a reason.
Others are worth the risk.
When Sadie Walker unexpectedly meets the mysterious Jace Ryder, she can't explain why she feels drawn to the quiet stranger everyone in town seems determined to avoid.
"Stay away from Jace Ryder."
It's the warning she hears over and over again.
Her parents don't trust him.
The town whispers about him.
No one will tell her why.
But every stolen conversation only makes her want to know him more.
Soon their friendship turns into late-night drives beneath the Arizona stars, secret meetings after midnight, and a connection neither of them can deny. For the first time in years, Jace begins to believe he might deserve a future beyond the darkness that's followed him for so long.
What Sadie doesn't know is that Jace is hiding the truth.
He's running from a dangerous past.
A past that's finally caught up with him.
As old enemies close in, the two are forced to leave everything behind and disappear together. What begins as an escape quickly becomes a desperate fight for survival, testing their trust, their courage, and the feelings growing between them.
Because loving Jace Ryder may be the most dangerous decision Sadie has ever made.
And sometimes...
Trouble doesn't find you.
It finds the person you refuse to leave behind.
When Trouble Finds You is an emotional slow-burn romantic suspense about first love, secret midnight meetings, found family, sacrifice, and the courage to choose love even when the entire world tells you to walk away. Filled with heart-racing suspense, unforgettable characters, and breathtaking twists, it's a story about discovering that home isn't always a place—sometimes, it's a person.
