When it’s clear she can’t escape him, she finds herself becoming fascinated with the brooding, intense man who knows how to survive. He makes her heart race and blood pound. When tragedy strikes, Caroline realizes she might have a plan to save the world, but she’ll need Lincoln’s help. Can she trust Lincoln not only with humanity’s future, but also her heart?<br>

    This was not at all what I was expecting but in a good way. I loved the story and even feared up a few times.

    By a judge of excellent books
    Reading A Wilderness Within was at once gripping, terrifying, enlighting, compelling, and reassuring. It took me on an emotional roller coaster with twists and turns in the story line that I could not anticipate. I was moved from chills to tears to smiles and back again. This author has astonishing knowledge about bio warfare and the potential effect on the human body. The inept technical and medical response of the national health community to a very plausible bio warfare attack is realistic and causes the reader great fear. At the same time, the author connects the reader with hope, love, and compassion. A Wilderness Within is a thrilling read about one of the most under-recognized, yet profoundly devastating forces shaping our world today. This should be required reading in every University, every boardroom and every courthouse in the United States. Once a reader begins A Wilderness Within, they will be unable to stop until they reach the shocking conclusion. Buckle up. You are in for a wild ride.
