Kya Donald has always let others take the spotlight-sweet, shy, and quietly fierce, she shocks everyone (most of all herself) by earning her place at the Olympic Trials. One step from her ultimate dream-running for Team USA in Los Angeles-she's determined to prove she belongs on that starting block.
Daman Whitney is the world's fastest man: a chiseled, headline-grabbing superstar who's built an empire on speed, swagger, and that invincible "playboy" reputation. But after a very public breakup, he's desperate to show there's more to him than flashbulbs and tabloids. When Kya accidentally stumbles into his chaos-her scraped knees meeting his wounded pride-they hatch a plan neither of them expects: a fake engagement to dodge nosy reporters and control their narrative.
As they train side by side under the Southern California sun, their easy banter turns electric-and every staged smile at red-carpet events feels a little more real. From spark-filled glances on the track to the tense, high-stakes roar of the Olympic stadium, Can't Run From Love is a closed-door, slow-burn sports romance built on fake engagement fun, about stepping out of the shadows...and risking everything to win your heart's true prize.
