Release Date: July 15, 2024
Which of them is the prisoner and which one is free?
Bookstore owner Meryn O'Reilly and Army Captain Jesse Christensen are on opposite sides of a
battle. After a series of terrorist attacks in 2053, martial law has been declared in Canada and the
military has taken over. When a radical Christian group claims responsibility, Jesse and his
platoon are sent to Meryn's city to keep an eye on the Christians and ensure they are not stepping
outside the confines of the law.
Fiery and quick-tempered, Meryn chafes under the curfew and other restrictions to her freedom.
Jesse is equally amused, intrigued, and terrified by her spirit, knowing she could end up in prison
if she shows defiance to the wrong soldier, namely Lieutenant Gallagher.
Jesse watches out for Meryn when possible, although she wants nothing to do with him. His
worst fears are realized when she commits a crime he cannot protect her from. Now they both
face an uncertain future and the very real threat of losing everything, including their lives.
With time running out, Jesse works feverishly to convince the authorities to show leniency—and
to convince Meryn that love can overcome any barrier that lies between them.
Book Excerpt
Time for him to get out of the way and finish his patrol route. Then he could head back to
the base. This was the start of Thanksgiving weekend in Canada, which should mean a few quiet
days for the military, since most people would be with their families, celebrating the holiday.
Jesse pushed away the twinge of sadness that drifted through him at the thought and
strode around the front of his vehicle. The mess hall would offer up something vaguely
resembling a turkey dinner, and he could eat with his best friend and commanding officer, Caleb.
That would have to do for a family get-together for the two of them, as it had the last few years.
Jesse offered the driver behind him an apologetic wave before swinging himself behind
the wheel of the jeep. He shot one last glance at the mosque and then the schoolyard where the
kids had resumed whatever game they were playing with the ball. Then he shifted into gear and
started along the street lined with trees glistening red and orange and yellow in the sunlight.
Now that Thanksgiving had crossed his mind, his thoughts strayed to memories of past holidays
with his parents and older brother, Rory.
