AnnaWhat are the chances of me getting kidnapped in a small town in the foothills of Colorado by a man who is the subject of an international manhunt? I'd say probably the same odds as winning the lottery...several times. Except I wasn't that lucky. I moved to this tiny town and opened a small diner to find some peace. I used to love staring at those beautiful, majestic, snow-capped mountain peaks. Now all that sight brings me is sorrow and heartache. Still, I'm here. I can't leave. I can't just run away like I wished I could. Then, on one cold, winter's evening, my entire world changes when a desperate man, one wanted for the rape and murder of a young woman in Seattle, drags me away from my diner and back to a dark place that I never wanted to go again. My kidnapper calls himself Phoenix. But I know who he really is. He's a cold-blooded murderer who would probably snuff out my life without one bit of remorse. As I remain his captive, dependent on his mercy, I have to pretend to trust him so I can try to make my escape. I'm defiant by nature; he wants me to submit. I hate the way my body reacts to him, craves him, but he considers that a victory. So one of us is going to lose this battle, and I'm not so certain the winner is going to be me....
