I am Willow. I am 28 years old. I have two beautiful children. My precious baby lambs, who I would die for. But I am also, unfortunately, prey. I don't mean to be prey. No one in their right mind would sign up for such a thing. I simply am. I carry it as a scent. Secrete it as skin and saturate my folicles in it. Maybe it's the subtle hints of fear. Maybe my vulnerability carries intoxicating notes I'm not aware of. Or maybe it's the musk of overwhelming guilt that burns even my own nostrils. Whatever it is, I watch it ride along the tail-end of a breeze and snag only predatory noses. Noses that sniff me out and give chase. Noses that force me to run, to hide, only to inevitably be caught. But I am not normal prey. And my Shepherd is not a normal herder. When I call to Him in my darkest hour, watching sharp teeth carrying my precious lambs off captive, He answers with a predator of his own: A yellow-eyed wolf named Isaiah. He offers me one year of marriage. One year of his own sharp teeth for me to hide behind and use at will. And in that one year's time, he will get my children back for me. But what happens when I want him, too? What if, this time, I choose to be prey? Want to be trapped, encircled, caught? His teeth, his claws, embedded in me forever? And what if that is the only thing he cannot give me? Join our precious doe, Willow, and her tenacious wolf, Isaiah, as they overcome mountainous obstacles through faith, love and personal growth. Whether predator or prey, the hunter or the hunted, in God's hands, we are powerful weapons for good.

Join Joy on her journey of self-discovery, as she fights her way through the darkness to reclaim her identity, and in doing so, not only finds herself but finds a way to step into her future with happiness and joy. Author Tara White wrote the majority of this book on location in Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia (literally sitting on the rocks looking out into the Atlantic Ocean), and in Waikoloa, Hawaii, two of the settings in the book. The rocks and ocean on the book cover are from an actual picture taken during one of her writing sessions. She visited Nova Scotia many times a year in one of her prior jobs and took advantage of the opportunity to get out to Peggy's Cove to squeeze in a few hours of writing on her trips. Peggy's Cove quickly became her magical writing place where, as soon as she sits down on the rocks and opens her laptop, her fingers just start flying across the keyboard and the characters come to life! Since she started visiting Peggy's Cove fairly regularly over five years ago, she has easily spent over a couple of hundred hours on the rocks, and on many of those visits, she searched the ocean for a whale or a dolphin, without one sighting.
