  The deeper the roots, the darker the secrets. 
  When park ranger Malachi James discovers a poached mother bear at Pennsylvania's Worlds End State Park, he never expects the search for her missing cubs to unearth his own buried past. Partnering with wildlife biologist Cate Garrison, their mission to rescue the vulnerable orphans becomes a dangerous collision with Jade—a secretive cult founded by Malachi's estranged father and still embracing his long-missing mother. 
  But when Cate vanishes while investigating a remote den, Malachi's worst fears materialize. Has the cult that defined his childhood now taken the woman he's falling for? With time running out, Malachi must confront his family's dark legacy before it claims another victim. 
  Racing against time and battling human predators in the unforgiving wilderness, Malachi's steadfast faith becomes the guiding light Cate desperately needs. The forest that once offered sanctuary now conceals deadly secrets—and possibly the answers to questions he's spent a lifetime avoiding.

  I quit my job. I walked away from everything I knew. I couldn't lose anyone else. Not again. Working for James Martin wasn't supposed to be complicated or lethal. Too bad someone wanted him dead, and I was the only thing standing in the way. 
   
   
   
  When eccentric playboy CEO James Martin's life is threatened, he decides to hire Alexis Parker, an attractive, feisty, former federal agent, to be his new security consultant and personal bodyguard. As Alex attempts to navigate the minefield of potential suspects, she discovers an underlying conspiracy that has been brewing at Martin Technologies for almost half a decade. Anyone could be involved, making Martin's closest friends, acquaintances, and employees possible suspects. 
   
   
   
  What starts out as a single death threat quickly morphs into a plot to overtake his entire company. Once the pieces fall into place, things explode, both literally and figuratively. This outwardly simple case is something neither Alex nor Martin ever imagined. It will take all of Alex's training and instincts to track down the criminal mastermind and stop the assassination plot before it's too late, and even that may not be enough.
