When a beautiful backpacker gets in a car with a total stranger, she feels she has no choice. Besides, Olgas new employer has kind eyes, and looking after his children can’t be that hard! But when she finds herself in a remote farmhouse with her young charges, a brother and sister clearly traumatised, fear creeps in. Where is their mother? Is she alive? And can she trust their father, the man she is beginning to love?
Part psychological suspense, part romance, Olga must face down danger at every turn – from human trafficking to attempted murder to the seductive pull of a cult – all the time testing her instincts, the resilience of family and the boundaries of faith.
