Xavier It’s been six years since I’ve seen Emmy Santos in person, and not a day’s gone by that I haven’t thought about her.

Hunter Lewis is intrigued by the new woman staying at his friend's Amish inn. Annie appears to be what she claims, but she's secretive and won't open up. He's been burned by a woman before and can't tolerate deception.

The Runaway Heart by Clare Richmond released on Sep 24, 1986 is available now for purchase.

Rebellious, headstrong, independent - and on her own at age 15 - Lorelei dreamed of being a model, and made that happen through serendipity; a chance meeting with a '70s SoCal Rock Star opened the A-list Hollywood doors to a wondrous world, as well as a full-blown romance. Pounding the pavement in L.A. and New York taught her the hard knocks of being a working class model. Sheer will and determination jetted her off to Europe, where she became a top runway and magazine model, and where she met the doomed love of her life, fiancé Steve Clark of Def Leppard. With humor, pathos, and a world map of insight, Runway RunAway takes readers on a breathless journey around the globe with a backstage pass to high fashion, true romance, and Rock 'n Roll from some of the biggest names in the business.

Written with erudition, insight, and enthusiasm, Runaway Bride is a brilliant mix of film and social history that renews our vision and broadens our understanding of some of the best-loved movies ever made, and the complex, Depression-influenced circumstances from which they were born.
