When Love Becomes the Most Dangerous Risk of All

One name to survive. One heart to lose. One secret that could destroy them both.

If you're searching for a romantic suspense that will have you reading just one more chapter at 2 AM, let me introduce you to Life on the Run by Paula Phillips- a pulse-pounding New Adult thriller that's completely free to read on Wattpad.

A Life Built on Lies

Skye Salisbury's world shattered in a single night when she witnessed something that should have remained hidden. Now "Skye" is gone, erased, replaced by "Rose" - a carefully constructed identity courtesy of the Witness Protection Program. But a new name can't silence the panic attacks or ease the suffocating fear that her past is always just one mistake away from finding her.

Living in a town that feels more like a prison than a sanctuary, Skye exists in survival mode: checklists, hypervigilance, and the constant weight of knowing that one wrong move could be her last.

The Agent Who Wasn't Supposed to Care

Enter Holden Vance - elite FBI agent, her assigned protector, and the walking definition of professional boundaries. He's everything you'd expect: stoic, disciplined, and laser-focused on the mission. His golden rule? Don't get attached.

But proximity has a way of unraveling even the most carefully maintained walls. As months in hiding stretch into something more intimate and dangerous, Holden begins to see past the frightened witness to the woman beneath - the one who looks at him like he's more than just a badge and a gun. And Skye? She sees through his suit-and-tie armor to the man who's risking everything to keep her alive.

When Safety Becomes a Luxury They Can No Longer Afford

Just as the trial date approaches, their fragile sanctuary explodes. Someone has betrayed Skye's location, and suddenly they're no longer hunters lying in wait , they're prey on the run. With nothing but a fast car, fading hope, and each other, Skye and Holden find themselves racing across state lines in a desperate bid for survival.

But the real danger isn't just the people hunting them. It's the secrets they're keeping from each other. It's the impossible choice looming on the horizon: Can Skye trust the man who's sworn to protect her when saving his life might mean breaking his heart and vanishing forever?
