In the passionate, gut-wrenching sequel to Amber Hart’s Until You Find Me, Raven and Jospin must fight for each other in a world where love is never safe—and power is deadly.

Raven, a college girl from Michigan, came to the jungles of Cameroon searching for closure. Falling for Jospin, a handsome, charismatic hunter with dark secrets of his own, was never part of the plan. But despite their differences, their attraction is addictive, as exhilarating and wild as the rain forest itself—and also as dangerous.

For the sake of both their lives, their heated affair must remain a secret. Raven wants justice for her conservationist father’s death; to help her, Jospin must turn his back on his own father and the only life he has ever known. Together they risk being hunted by a band of ruthless poachers, but they take the chance anyway, working to bring down their enemies between each stolen kiss.

But when one slip puts Raven’s life at stake, Jospin knows he must act. He has captured Raven’s heart—now can he set her free?

Excerpt

“You’ll need to sleep in here,” Clovis says. “You take the bed; I’ll take the couch.”

I stare at the bed again. It feels wrong. To sleep there—here—in this palace.

“I know it’s a lot to take in,” Clovis says empathetically. “But he saved your life, Raven. Jospin saved your life. Don’t let it be for nothing.”

Jospin gave up his world for me. The least I can do is go along with his plan.

“He would want you here, in my room. Actually, he might kill me when this is all over.” Clovis almost smiles. “But at least you’ll be safe. Jospin would want you under my watch. He knows how the men are here.”

I nod. I am trying to find, in the deepest parts of my body, some release from the guilt I feel about this entire situation.

“And to answer your earlier question,” Clovis says, “we keep Jospin safe by making your story believable, by making other poachers trust us enough not to follow us whenever we go into the forest. When that happens, we’ll be able to meet with Jospin. See what he wants us to do.”

I watch the way Clovis’s face falls as he speaks. As if an arrow has penetrated the shield he’s put around himself.

“I am worried about him too, Raven. He’s my best friend, and I never wanted—” Pause. Clovis clears his throat. “I never wanted this for him. To be out there alone. I couldn’t have expected you two to fall in love. It changes everything.

Everything, my mind echoes.

“I didn’t mean to fall for Jospin,” I say.

Clovis’s lips inch upward into a smile. “I know.”

“What’s funny?” I ask.

Clovis twists at his dreads. “It’s just that I never thought I would see Jospin in love. I thought that even when he did eventually marry, it would be for power. To have an heir. He didn’t consider love an option. He was too invested in our pack. He really is a good friend. A true leader.”

My heart picks up its pace.

“Why do you think he fell for me?” I ask quietly, almost reluctant to hear the answer.

Clovis stares, eyes like needles unstitching all my parts. “Because you’re beautiful, brave, perfect.”

His sentiment makes me smile.
“I had no idea who Jospin was,” I explain. “We met in the jungle. I felt this thing, like a drone in my veins, like something approaching, an excitement in the air. He wanted to show me how to make weapons.” I smile again. “You should have seen the sad ones I made on my own before Jospin helped me. That is how this whole thing started. And now this.”

“And now this,” Clovis agrees. “Raven. We will still take the poaching empire down, you and I. But maybe now Jospin will take it down with us.”

A seed of hope lingers.

Will we succeed? Will Jospin join us? Will he ever forgive Clovis?

 Will he still want me when all this is done?
