She was called to be a healer, but her skills–and heart–have never been so challenged.
Levi Masters’s time as a British spy hasn’t ended, though his country’s war with America has. After overhearing a scout reveal a discovery that could give America the upper hand in future conflicts, Levi is sent on one last mission. While trekking through the Canadian Rockies in pursuit of his former enemy, he is taken captive by warriors from a hidden mountain village.
Village healer Audrey Moreau is more curious than afraid of the outsider, and she’s drawn to his commitment to honesty even at his own expense. Despite her arguments for his release, the council remains at an impasse. Compelled to help him escape, she sneaks him out of the village. But when Levi faces a life-threatening injury and the fierce mountain winter closes in, Levi and Audrey are forced to discover just how far they’ll go to ensure the safety of the other and the love growing between them.

"This man is not a danger to us. If we shed innocent blood, that evil will be marked to our account. He must be set free."
Carved deep into the Canadian Rockies, the mountain village of Laurent is heavily guarded and highly suspicious of strangers. When British spy Levi Masters stumbles into their midst while following American intelligence, he begins to regret what his occupation has turned into. Now his very life hangs in the balance, for the village council will soon decide his fate and Levi's only ally seems to be Laurent's lovely young healer, Audrey Moreau.
Audrey Moreau is convinced that deep down Levi Masters is a good man. One with regrets? Certainly. But not one with ill intent towards her beloved Laurent community. Acting on a whim, Audrey whisks Levi out of the village, not trusting the village leaders to spare his life. What happens afterwards is going to test every ability they each possess to survive. Has Audrey just made the worst mistake of her young lifetime, or is God still capable of working all things to His good.
"I'm praying Audrey. The Lord has a plan in this, though I don't know what it is. He'll carry us through."
With each step further into this unique cave community, the author utilizes her creative imagination to remind readers how extraordinary God's ordinary plans can turn out to be. Aubrey and Levi's faith journeys may have had vastly different beginnings, but both are tested in order to be strengthened. Be sure to cozy up with your favorite blanket while you read . . . . it's cold in those caves!
