A Penny for My ThoughtsA Penny for My Thoughts

In the shadows of Northern Washington's rugged Glacier Peak Wilderness, former military operative Tarz "Reverend" Williams battles not just his demons, but a destiny he never chose. Haunted since childhood by visions of a mysterious woman and an inexplicable voice urging him to protect her, Reverend channels his complex past into a life of calculated risk as an armed robber, alongside his volatile partner Curtis. When a heist spirals out of control and Curtis kidnaps an undercover detective, Brittney "Penny" Starlite, Reverend's world implodes. She is the woman from his dreams - the one he's destined to protect, yet everything he's conditioned himself to resist. Their intense connection defies his prejudices and challenges everything he believes about himself. As Curtis's grip on sanity unravels, Reverend makes a choice that ignites a desperate chase through some of America's most unforgiving wilderness. With Curtis hunting them, Penny's determined fiancé Detective Earl Stewart closing in, and shadowy government forces tracking their every move, Reverend must rely on every skill from his military past to keep them alive. But the true revelation lies deeper than their flight for survival. As Reverend and Penny navigate their powerful and inexplicable attraction, they uncover a shocking truth: their connection isn't chance - it's by design. Long before their first breath, forces beyond their understanding engineered their paths to cross, weaving their destinies into a greater conspiracy that challenges everything they know about free will, identity, and human connection.
