In Hiding — Timothy Sheard

What would you do if the woman of your dreams disappeared? Peter Davies is mad about his neighbor Angie, but too shy to tell her of his feelings. When she goes missing, he begins a journey that takes him deep into the brutal world of sex trafficking, brothels and forced prostitution. Along the way Peter encounters a radical feminist group that liberates captive young women by force, smuggling them along an underground railroad to freedom. Peter wants to join the group, but they reject him for being a romantic dreamer. They need hard-nosed fighters who can handle danger and violence. Peter realizes that in order to save his beloved, he must not only prove himself to their leader, but must face the Black Pearl, the cold-hearted madam in charge of the most violent brothel in the city.
