In West Virginia he finds Luce, a tough but beautiful loner who knows all about keeping people at a distanceβa kindred soul with whom he might dare to make a life. But the hunters have caught Jonah's scent again. Danger is coming to their mountain refugeβa confrontation that will be decided only by a force of nature.
