Julia Randel was thirteen when she was kidnapped by a cult leader.

It took her seven years to escape. Two years later her captor's trial is about to begin–and so are threats from his loyal followers. Julia is relieved when her father hires bodyguard Gavin Shane, but she's furious when he rushes her to a safe house. After years under lock and key, she doesn't want to be forced into hiding again. But with cultists seeking to stop Julia's testimony at any cost, it'll take both Julia and her determined protector to set her free for a new life–and new love.
