Sarah lives a miserable life in captivity, a prisoner to her sadistic husband, Johnny, who keeps her isolated from the outside world. One day, when Johnny steps away from his computer without locking the door to his study, Sarah slips in, accesses the Internet, and hatches a daring escape plan. She flees into the woods with little more than the clothes on her back and no wilderness survival knowledge, knowing that she could very well die but figuring death would be better than a life of imprisonment under Johnny. Dehydrated, starving and near death, she is found by kind-hearted Liam. Liam's first instinct is to take the mysterious homeless woman to a shelter--after all, she looks suspiciously like the "missing woman" on the local news--but something tells him to bring her home with him instead. As Liam nurses Sarah back to health, he learns about her past and why she ran, and he and Sarah begin falling in love. But all is not bliss. Johnny is looking for Sarah, and he'll stop at nothing to find and imprison her again."Sarah & Liam" is a thrilling tale of one woman's escape from the horror of domestic violence, and how she learns to live and love even as her abuser continues his pursuit of her. The story and characters pull the reader into their world to the point where it will be difficult to put this book down. Author Nadene Seiters has crafted a romantic thriller in a genre of its own; I hope we see more from her in the future!
