A marathon runner vanishes on a foggy North Carolina mountain road, only to wake up captive to a dangerous man with a shadowy past—but things are never quite what they seem in Sandra Brown's twisty thriller. As Emory fights for survival and her husband's suspicious behavior comes under police scrutiny, she discovers her captor might be the only person she can actually trust. When a desperate young woman pulls them both into a dangerous moral quandary, Emory is forced to question everything about right and wrong, rescue and betrayal. This is a sizzling, heart-pounding ride that blurs the line between villain and savior in the most deliciously complicated way.
