ABOUT THE BEAUTIFUL AND THE WILD:

Liv works hard for her happy life in Sacramento: despite some tragedies in her past that she prefers not to think about, she has a husband, and a young son who she adores.

They are just scraping by, but Liv’s life is full of love. Until the day her husband disappears without a trace.

He is presumed dead, and Liv is forced to continue on without him… until she awakens locked inside a trailer in the Alaskan wilderness.

And her husband, the father of her child, is her captor. Now, Liv must reconcile with the hard truths that brought them to this point—and how to survive.

After all, sometimes the most dangerous thing is the person you love.
