About the Getaway series
Getaway is Jay Crownover's self-published contemporary romance series following a group of friends and family running a mountain resort, each finding romance amid the getaway destination's guests and staff. Retreat (2016) opens the series, followed by Shelter (2017), Escape and Runaround (both 2018), with Detour (2019) closing out the five-book run.
Moving outside the tattoo-shop and criminal-underworld settings of her Marked Men and Point books, Getaway trades gritty New Adult stakes for a lighter small-business, destination-romance premise, while keeping Crownover's characteristic banter and slow-burn structure.
