Taken Love

At school, Casey Cade is the perfect popular girl-beautiful, blonde, cheer captain, and always surrounded by attention. But beneath the image everyone sees is a country girl who loves horses, hunting, old trucks, and the quiet life she hides from almost everyone. Living under the control of her powerful father, Casey has spent years protecting the town's status quo while secretly feeling trapped by it.

Noah MaCoy has always noticed her.

Quiet and constantly buried in books after the death of his father, a fallen SWAT officer, Noah keeps to himself despite the strength and skill he hides beneath his reserved exterior. He's admired Casey from afar for years, never believing someone like her could want someone like him. What he doesn't know is that Casey has noticed him too.

But when Casey is kidnapped after cheer practice, and the local authorities refuse to help, Noah realizes he can't trust anyone. Determined to save her on his own, he uncovers dangerous secrets hidden within their small town-including the horrifying truth behind Casey's disappearance.

After rescuing her, Casey and Noah are forced to go on the run, leaving behind everything they once knew. Together, they must survive the people hunting them while fighting for the one thing they never expected to find-each other.
