She escaped one dangerous cult only to land in the hands of another.
Quinn was thirteen when she was taken. Fifteen years later, a raid finally sets her free, and the counselor assigned to help her rebuild understands survivors like no one else. He gives her a quiet house in Cypress Hollow, Louisiana, and women who understand what she's been through. For the first time in years, Quinn feels safe.
But there's something different in the way he watches her — something that isn't in his file.
The house keeps its own rules. The women won't meet her eyes. And the man who promised to help her, the one who keeps showing up when she least expects him, calls her "Little one" in a voice that no longer sounds like care.
By the time Quinn understands she hasn't been saved, she's been collected. It may already be too late.
