Close-Up

 "Virginia Kantra writes romantic suspense with a dash of humor, a dollop of intrigue, and a heavy dose of adventure." 
–Lisa Gardner, New York Times bestselling author 

The mountains hold secrets... 
None more dangerous than the survivalist militia that kidnaps photographer Lexie Scott and holds her deep in the woods of North Carolina. Lexie escapes their compound only to careen into Jack Miller, an ex-cop determined to extract his sister and her child from an abusive marriage to the militia's cult-like leader. 

The forest has eyes... 
Helping Lexie will screw up Jack's mission—especially since Lexie is hiding secrets of her own. But hunted through the woods by a desperate enemy, Jack and Lexie must work together to prevent a fatal standoff. 

"Holy moly, action/adventure/romance fans! You are going to LOVE this book! I highly, highly recommend it."
