No Safe Return

One lie was all it took to ruin her life.

Fresh out of high school and desperate for one night of freedom, she tells her parents she is sleeping at a friend's house.

Instead, she spends graduation night with her boyfriend-the only son of two powerful politicians.

By morning, his parents are dead.

Her boyfriend is unresponsive.

And she is the only person who saw the killer's face.

She should have died in that house.

Instead, she wakes on an isolated island with no phone, no way home, and no understanding of the language spoken around her. The man who abducted her offers no comfort, no explanation and only one rule:

Earn your life every day.

While she cooks his meals, washes his clothes and carries water beneath the scorching sun, the rest of the world begins searching for her-not as a missing girl, but as the prime suspect in a political assassination.

Now her only protection is the man responsible for her disappearance.

And every morning, she must give him another reason not to correct the mistake he made by letting her live.
