They started their ride for freedom. But on Day Two, she vanished. Now he’ll ride through hell itself to get her back—and take them all down.
Opening Paragraph :
They had trained for months, mapping every mile, dreaming of the freedom the open road would bring. Lena and Mark pedaled into Colorado with nothing but their bikes, backpacks, and the shared promise of an unforgettable adventure. By the second day, they had reached a small town tucked beneath the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. It was charming in that too-perfect way—until Lena didn’t return from the café. Her bike was there. Her phone too. But no Lena. The sheriff called it “a lovers’ spat” and suggested she’d taken off. Mark knew better. The moment he found the torn strap from her helmet in an alley behind the café, something snapped inside him. Whoever had taken Lena didn’t know him. Didn’t know what he was willing to do. But they’d learn. What began as a scenic cross-state trip would now become a brutal journey through Colorado’s shadows—where every trail leads to danger, and Mark’s only companion is rage.
Three Questions to Dive Deeper:
- How far would you go to save someone you love—and would you cross moral lines to do it?
- What clues would Mark need to uncover a hidden human trafficking network in a remote region?
- How might the harsh Colorado landscape mirror Mark’s emotional descent into vengeance?
