Tender Mercy — Elizabeth Murphy

Before her marriage to minister Joel Bennigan, Val had beed seduced by the promises of a frightening religious cult. Now these deranged minds want her back, and they'll stop at nothing.

Kidnapped and then imprisoned in a dank basement, Val is given a ghastly life-or-death ultimatum: Divorce her husband and bequeath his wealth to the cult or face losing Joel, and likely countless others, to a hideous death now lurking in a chemist's vial.

Will the young couple's newly proclaimed love survive the lies Val is forced to tell? Will Joel realize the truth in time? Only God's tender mercy can save them now.
