“TELL US WHERE HE IS AND WE’LL LET YOU GO…”
Kidnapped and dragged into the Montana wilderness, Sarah Langston has no idea where her brother is or what her captors want with him. But when help arrives and removes her blindfold, she’s shocked to see the father of the baby she gave up for adoption. Former police officer Bryan Keyes is convinced that Sarah’s kidnapping is tied to a deadly human trafficking ring. Now with Sarah’s brother in the line of fire, Bryan must join forces with the only woman he’s ever loved. Will they have time to rekindle a love that happened too soon?
Down below, she caught a flash of movement. Her attackers were catching up.
“Where are you taking me?”
“Some place safe where we can call for help. Trust me, I know this part of the forest.”
What choice did she have? She’d prayed for God to send help and He had. Of all the people in the world, He’d sent Bryan.
“Come on.” He held his hand out to her. The August sun beat down on them, the air thick with heat. Down below, the two thugs were weaving their way up the mountain.
“Where are we going anyway?”
“We need to get help, call the sheriff,” he said.
She stared up at the rocky terrain. “Isn’t there an easier way?”
“Sarah, would you trust me? I know where I’m going. Those guys won’t be able to follow us. They’ll give up.”
It was the first time he’d said her name. The warmth in his voice only reminded her of ten-year-old wounds. “I really don’t have a choice here. I’ll do what you say.” She wasn’t so sure about the men giving up, though.

For you know that it was not with the perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.

I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him.
