Review:

The Runaway Heiress by Meg Tilly is another one of her wonderful standalone thrillers. Sarah Rainsford, our heroine, has been on the run from an abusive husband (he is a police officer) for 4 years, and wants her inheritance. She manages to escape when he is close to finding her, always changing her identities. 

Sarah gets a job working for Mick Talford (a famous movie director). At first, Mick is not happy, as he preferred a male assistant, but Sarah (using the name Rachel Jones) insists she can do everything. In a short time, Mick begins to realize that Sarah is hiding something, and slowly he gains her trust and she tells him about her being on the run avoiding her husband, who is very dangerous.  Slowly, Mick and Sarah begin to have feelings for each other, and the race is on to find proof of her divorce, and her hidden papers regarding her inheritance; reclaiming her fortune left to her after the death of her parents.

What follows is an exciting, intense, suspenseful adventure; the romance between Sarah and Mick was sweet, as their romance heats up, and the danger escalates for Sarah.  As we race to an exciting and suspenseful climax, there were so many surprise twists that changed the game often. Who can Sarah trust besides Mick?

I do not want to give spoilers, as you will need to read this book, since saying too much more would ruin this for you; especially with the many surprising twists.

The Runaway Heiress was a fun, enjoyable and captivating read, as well as having a great couple, excellent secondary characters, with a sweet romance and mystery thriller.   Meg Tilly once again gives us another great romance suspense to enjoy. I wholly recommend you read The Runaway Heiress.
