Grace Archer has been living a quiet life in rural Alabama with her young daughter, Frankie. Grace has a way with horses and is known locally as a "horse whisperer." It's a life far different from the one she led eight years ago as a government agent. Her peaceful existence is shattered one night when a friend is murdered, and she's forced to go on the run with former agent and lover Jake Kilmer, a man she distrusts more than anyone in the world.

Middle Eastern businessman Marvot is determined to have Grace working for him, training a pair of Arabians known as The Pair. When Grace refuses, he comes after her, kidnapping Frankie and forcing Grace to travel to El Tariq. With no one to help, Grace must accept Kilmer's assistance to get their daughter back.

Johansen's fans are going to love ON THE RUN! Racing full tilt from almost the first page, it's a thrill a minute adventure. Grace is a vulnerable but tough heroine, Kilmer a finely honed hero, and together they sizzle! Marvot is evil personified, more than a little bit mad in his pursuit of power. This latest Johansen doesn't disappoint!
