A Novel of Romantic Suspense.
Meet Kate Reed, who thinks she may just be the happiest woman alive. After years of failing to have a baby, she is thrilled when her husband, Michael, arranges the adoption of a baby boy. From the moment Kate holds little Joey in her arms, she knows she is in love. And she is happy to follow her husband's advice to move out of the noisy city and into her grandfather's home in the Missouri countryside.
But soon she is perplexed by Michael's bizarre behaviour. Kate chalks it up to his worries about fatherhood . . . until the peace of their home is shattered by some very dangerous men who have come to claim baby Joey!
Kate escapes into the woods with her baby. Fear keeps her going until an unlikely helper, an unkempt man named Booker, finds her. They learn Kate is wanted for kidnapping and murder - but since Booker knew her grandfather, he doesn't believe a word of it. And he knows a thing or two about trumped-up charges himself.
Kate doesn't know why, but she trusts this wild man of the woods, even though she's running scared . . .
