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
“I need to paint.”
This is what I tell
Clovis as we head downstairs for breakfast.
“Can it wait?” he asks.
“No.”
My reply is quick.
Honest. No, it cannot wait. My feet leave the marble stairs and sink into the
plush carpet of the living room. There are other pack members at the table,
eating already. I don’t see Mr. Tondjii, to my surprise. Clovis bends to kiss
me on the head and delivers the gift of a few words that no one else can hear.
“He’s tending to
business. Eat.”
So, Mr. Tondjii won’t be
down here with us. My relief is immediate. Until I see Mattius watching me.
Clovis takes my hand and
leads me to the selection of food on the oversize island in the middle of the
kitchen. It’s a buffet. Fruit and breads and, on a warmer, something that looks
like Cream of Wheat. I help myself to fruit salad and a piece of bread peppered
with nuts and seeds and grain, enough to energize me.
We take a seat at the
table, though it makes me nervous. We passed an older woman—another poacher’s
wife, Clovis informed me—on the way down the stairs, but aside from her and
Mrs. Tondjii, I’m the only female here. Definitely the only one currently at
the table. I can only guess where the clothes that have been provided for me
came from. Ex-girlfriends? Daughters? There was more than enough to choose
from, but I tried to stick to the most basic of items.
I am very aware of the
way the other men stare at me like I’m what they want to be eating instead of
the plethora of food spread out before them. Clovis doesn’t seem fazed. I guess
looking is okay—maybe the least of all evils here.
I keep my eyes downcast.
Eat my food quickly and listen to them speak in a language I don’t understand.
I have a feeling that Mattius is still staring at me, but I don’t check to see
if my intuition is right.
“What now?” I ask Clovis,
taking the last bite of bread. My plate is clean.
“How does a trip into the
jungle sound?” Clovis asks, like it’s no big deal. Just some time to kill, so
why not.
A thrill kicks through
me. I hold tight to my energy. I can’t let my voice betray how much I like that
idea.
I shrug. “Whatever you
want.”
Clovis pats my leg under
the table. It feels like he’s telling me, Good
job.
“I don’t have patrol
until tonight. You can come if you want. Otherwise, we’re good,” Clovis says,
laying out the plan.
I wonder if the other men
will mind. Joining Clovis seems better than staying at the house with them.
“Fine with me,” I say.
I brave a glance at
Mattius and find him looking right back at me, as I suspected.
“What are you doing
today?” I ask. I think about how I’m supposed to be one of them, getting along
with the others.
“Don’t know,” Mattius
replies. There is a hint of surprise in his voice. “Why?”
I continue to look
directly at him. “Didn’t know if maybe you wanted to come into the forest with
us.”
He definitely looks
surprised now. I almost smile.
“Unless you wanted to go
alone?” I ask Clovis suggestively. Like maybe we would be doing things in the
forest. Passionate things.
This must be what sells
it for Mattius, because he says, “No, thanks. I’m fine here. You guys have
fun.”
Good thing. I don’t know
what I would have done if he’d actually said yes. It was a gamble.
I won.
