I can still picture him perfectly, the way he looked on the day he kidnapped me. It was already early evening, and his dark eyes shimmered in the light of the setting sun. Sparks danced within them like tiny will-o’-the-wisps from an enchanted world, seeming to promise secrets, maybe even adventures. Back then, I wanted both.
How else could I have been so deaf and blind to all the warning signals? The glances over his shoulder to check whether the backpackers had gone inside yet, the laughter that echoed through the silence a shade too loudly. I didn’t notice, or didn’t want to. All I heard were the silent questions behind that shimmer in his eyes.
Do you want this.
It could have meant anything.
Do you want to come with me?
Do you want to sleep with me?
Do you want me to kidnap you?

Louisa hates Ash Springs more than anything. She dreams of escaping the tiny village in the Nevada desert, of finding excitement and adventure. On a camping trip to Sequoia National Park with her four brothers, she meets the mysterious Brendan, and her life takes a dramatic turn… because for Brendan, it’s not a chance encounter at all. He’s been meticulously planning every step of Louisa’s abduction. Brendan whisks her away to the Canadian wilderness, an endless expanse of spruce trees and blue sky, populated only by wolves and ermines. He tells her she’s the light in his darkness. As her days of imprisonment turn to weeks, Louisa is forced to confront not only her own desperate terror, but Brendan’s traumatic past as well. Soon he becomes more to her than just her captor, which throws Louisa into a maelstrom of conflicting emotions: sympathy, need, even... love? Can she love her kidnapper? And just how dangerous is Brendan?

Haunted by a past that never leaves me, I've spent years in the Yukon's unforgiving solitude. Nothing in my life has ever made sense—until I stumble upon Louisa online. With her light and laughter, she seems untouchable, perfect. From that moment, she becomes the center of my universe. Obsessively, I watch her every post, save every photo. She never knows, but she is everything to me.
Then, one day, she vanishes from the online world, and my fragile sense of happiness shatters. Driven by desperation, I concoct a wild plan: abduct Louisa, keep her close forever. But can obsession ever morph into genuine love? What if Louisa isn't the girl I've built up in my mind?

This is a story that will both inspire and disturb, a love story that dares to ask: can true affection grow from dark beginnings?
