She’d escaped them once...with his help, could she evade them again?

Chris Mercer’s always lived one step ahead of the cult that wanted her to be its leader’s child bride. So her world explodes when the Vine finally corners her fifteen years later, determined to claim her — once and for all. But with search and rescue colleague and veteran Dr Rand Martin by her side, the determined woman won’t succumb to the group’s sinister grasp. As attraction blazes between them, though, so does the danger...and when Chris goes missing in the mountains, Rand will stop at nothing to find her!
