Sarah Waverly never expected a simple escape could lead her into such danger. Kidnapped by ruthless slave traders, Sarah makes a desperate bid for freedom when the opportunity arises. But the wilderness is just as dangerous as the men chasing her. Alone and with no one to trust, her only hope lies with a solitary hunter.

Tom Blackwood has spent years living alone in the Bitterroot Mountains. When he finds Sarah fighting for her life against wolves, he saves her and reluctantly agrees to help her get to Cedar Ridge. But the journey is treacherous—and her captors are closing in. Tom is determined to get her to safety, but he’s just as determined to keep his distance.

The journey tests them both, as they face threats from the traffickers and the harsh terrain. Will they survive the perilous journey? Or will the dangers of the wild—and the men chasing them—be their end?
