"Raised in a strict religious cult since she was a young girl, Jenna has no connection to the outside world beyond vague flashes of memory that seem to be from another life. Memories she clings to when the cult leaders discover her extraordinary ability to heal--and punish her. Years held captive and forced to do the cult's bidding have turned Jenna into a meek, timid woman...or so they think. In truth, she is merely biding her time, waiting for the perfect moment to escape. When a terrified young woman tries to steal the SUV of Devereaux Security's toughest recruit, Isaac's anger quickly turns into a strange sort of protectiveness for the beautiful, bruised stranger. But when they are caught in a firestorm of bullets and Isaac is hit, he's sure the end is near, until Jenna touches him and closes his wounds. As he tries to bring Jenna to safety, she refuses to tell him what danger haunts her or how she healed him, but Isaac vows to do whatever it takes to gain her trust...and her heart. Because with just one touch, Isaac knows he wants Jenna to be his--forever."--Back cover.

this book, in the beginning, was one of my favorites in the series with the inclusion of a character escaping from a cult and finding protection with the DSS. but it quickly turned into irritation because of the constant narrative that the female lead wanted to leave to protect the men from death. there is the constant having to address her emotions of inadequacies that it felt like I was reading the same pages over and over again. it was almost as though 20 pages of the book could have been removed and no one would have noticed a difference. there was a sudden change in the character where she was strong and defiant towards the antagonist which did not make sense because the author did not go through the process of showing her growth and went from I am insecure and will stand in a corner and fade away to I am super confident and can fuck over a drug lord. this totally did not make any sense. while I should have given this a1 star there are a few cute and humorous parts that might have saved the story just a little
