Jenna has spent years trapped in a religious cult that discovered her ability to heal and exploited it ruthlessly. Kidnapped as a child, she retains only fragments of her life before captivity. The cult leaders believe they have broken her into submission, but Jenna quietly plans her escape. When she finally breaks free, she encounters Isaac, a hardened operative with Devereaux Security Services. Isaac finds himself drawn to this mysterious woman who seems to know nothing about the modern world yet refuses to explain the danger pursuing her. As Jenna struggles to trust anyone after years of abuse, Isaac works to break through her defenses. The cult wants their valuable healer back and will stop at nothing to reclaim her. Isaac must protect Jenna from enemies who view her as property while she learns to believe in safety again. Their connection deepens as Isaac discovers that one touch from Jenna changes everything he thought he wanted from life.
