About this ebook

Taken hostage by a man who isn’t what he seems, a woman discovers her hidden survival skills on a road trip strewn with assassins and covert agents

Desperate to escape bitter heartbreak and the fresh wound of her mother’s suicide, Leah Harper leaves Chicago and heads west. When a storm forces her to seek shelter in a dilapidated motel in the Rockies, a gun-wielding stranger believing her to be someone else barges into her room and takes her hostage.
 
Her kidnapper, Glade Wyndham, is also on the run. The only way for Leah to stay alive is to pretend she’s Sheila, the assassin Glade believes her to be. Embroiled in a struggle between the FBI and her captor, Leah finds herself forging an uneasy alliance with a man who could be the most dangerous adversary of all. And there’s absolutely no one she can trust.
 
Featuring a cast of intriguing and unforgettable characters, Willing Hostage is a mysterious and suspenseful novel of adventure, second chances, and a woman discovering a confidence and inner strength she never knew she possessed.

    Enjoyed this but not as much as expected.“Willing Hostage” isn’t in the same league as Ms Millhiser’s “The Mirror”, though this is no supernatural novel either. This is much more believable. The author’s depiction of her feline character is brilliant.In short, it was worth reading, but only the once
