I lied to protect him...Still in recovery, physically and mentally, Lindy Johnson is haunted by her decisions, both the words she said and the actions she didn't take. With her world in ruin, she has no choice but to press on with her work. Chief Saunders has a case for her- his daughter is missing. Six months ago Tasha Saunders and her boyfriend, Rico joined an eco-positive community deep in the Cascade Mountains. There was no sign of them until RIco's body turned up in a back alley in Seatlle with evidence of foul play. With not much to go on but a scrap of paper jammed into his shoe with the chief's name and number, Lindy must infiltrate Eden's Haven and bring Tasha home. Fearing for her safety, Uncle Shane sends Lindy with a partner, but partners have never been one of Lindy's strong points. Heading into the wilderness of Northern Washington, and still struggling with her past, Lindy must learn to trust again if she's going to survive. After the trauma she's faced, will she work with her partner and do the job she's always loved? Can Lindy find Tasha before they all fall victim to the same fate as Rico? Or will they vanish like everyone else who's dared to search out Eden's Haven?Note From the Author: This book contains no adult language or sex scenes, but does contain moderate violence and possible triggers for abuse.
