Someone wants Elizabeth Clarke dead. And she doesn't know who or why. This was supposed to be the assignment that would earn the attractive young engineer recognition in her male-dominated profession. But now Elizabeth is forced to search for safety in a strange land -- a place where the only person she has known for more than a few hours is Michael Royden, her brother's childhood friend.
Michael no longer sees Elizabeth as a kid sister, and he's going out of his way to make her stay in New Zealand unforgettable. And it will be -- if she can survive. After a trip with Michael to the breathtaking National Kauri Forest, Elizabeth suddenly finds she is the target of someone determined to take her life. Now Elizabeth must figure out who to trust -- if she is to stay alive.
