Fear in the Woods - Maria Searfoss

Sometimes the worst things in life can lead to the best things in life. After the death of her parents, eighteen-year-old Kelly Devereux was determined to finish high school. Still unsure of her future, she agrees to spend the summer with a friend at a remote cabin tucked into the Canadian wilderness. Being there only three days, she witnesses the murder of her friend, by three woodsmen, who capture her and hold her captive in a cellar. In her attempt to escape, after months of being confined, she finds herself naked and lost in the vast forest, with the three woodsmen close behind her. Tommy Anderson, also a woodsman, had been stalling to repair his truck when Kelly falls into his life. With his primitive lifestyle, having no phone, Kelly is forced to spend two days with the handsome stranger as he cares for her and hides her from her captors until he repairs his truck and takes her into town. Although terror lived miles away, Kelly becomes interested in the forest and the man who took her in. Having nowhere to call home, she decides to stay with Tommy, despite the forces that caused her fear in the woods. But Tommy has a dark secret that he must tell Kelly, even though he suspects it could destroy their relationship. Will Kelly survive the woodsmen's wrath? Will Tommy find the courage to reveal his secret before it's too late? And if he does, will it destroy the best thing he's ever had?
