Every once in a while, you need to get away from it all.
I was a woman on the edge, shaken and shattered after a breakup that felt like it tore my entire world apart.
My best friend, sick of watching me drown in misery and melancholy, harassed me until I agreed to go with her on a week-long wilderness retreat.
She promised days spent bonding and getting in touch with our inner bad-asses.
It was supposed to be all about the two of us roughing it and making do with the bare minimum. She assured me we were going to be pushed to our limits in ways that were unimaginable. Neither one of us could have ever guessed just how right she was.
Nowhere in the glossy brochure did it say anything about the fact I was going to have to battle the insufferable but deliciously rugged and sexy trail guide instead of the elements. The brochure also forgot to mention the part that warned when you left civilization behind, there was no place to pack your inhibitions and fears.
I was told that I would be facing a week where the only thing I should expect was the unexpected. However, no one mentioned that I was going to have to fight for my life…and my heart as soon as I ventured into the unknown.
I was a pro at hiding from my feelings but when it came time to face a real threat, one that could change everything, I learned I was more of a no surrender, no retreat kind of girl.
Retreat is a standalone novel, the first in the Getaway series which centers on the hardheaded and brokenhearted Warner brothers and the women that dare to love them.
These boys are very good at putting the wild in wilderness.

Leniverse @Mitch @RachelO No school holiday in Wales, so you should be safe once you've crossed the "border". ? That said, there was a rowdy foul mouthed group on my train too. Fortunately they left at Hereford (which I think is actually in England these days). 6y

Chrissyreadit I love that you can take trains cross country easily - here it is unaffordable and difficult to travel anywhere outside of major metropolitan regions without a car. 6y
AmyG Have a wonderful time!! 6y

Mitch @Chrissyreadit it‘s kinda OK - as long as you book in advance and plan with care! It‘s kind cool I can go from my front door in the city to an obscure village in Wales by public transport in just a few hours. 6y
