She'll risk everything to save them. He'll risk everything to save her.
Lucia Sanchez has stolen two children whose lives hang in the balance. Haunted by a past she can't outrun, Lucia will stop at nothing to ensure they escape the nightmare she once lived.
U.S. Deputy Marshal Sam Steele is running on fumes. He doesn't want another case—especially not one involving a fugitive kidnapper. But when a trusted friend begs for help, Sam can't walk away. Not even when the line between right and wrong begins to blur.
Lucia is ready to die for her cause. Sam is determined to keep everyone alive. Together, they're thrust into a deadly pursuit, racing to protect two innocent children from a legacy of violence—and from the man who will stop at nothing to reclaim them.
"Sometimes a book and an author make a very deep impression on you and the sensitivity and humanity described in this book was a beautiful experience to read."

Customer Reviews
Excellent New Series Start
This book is one of the best I’ve read in forever. Great characters who resonate. May trigger some readers with concerns regarding the abuse of children but ultimately, good wins out.
Could not put this book down!
Fast paced with characters who felt real. Found myself holding my breath in a few places, horrified in some and smiling in others. This is the third book I’ve read by this author and have enjoyed them all!
Fantastic Read
The Getaway is a very dark romantic suspense story focusing on Sam, a U.S. Deputy Marshal, and Lucia, who has stolen two children from her extremely rich boss after finding out he has sexually abused one of them. Sam must decide if he should turn Lucia over to the authorities and return the children, or help keep the children from their depraved father. I am glad I decided to read this book by Hope Anika and will definitely be reading more of her books in the future.
