Elly grew up running from the terror of her Aunt's live-in boyfriends by hiding in a closet. So, when she began being stalked in Boston where she worked as a nurse, she told herself it was par for the course of her life. As the threats from the man invaded her privacy she decided to once again run and hide. She got in her car, left her adopted family, and drove west. When she arrived in White River Falls Montana and ran into the Police Chief who was also a rancher, she felt safe. It didn't take long for her and Evan to “click.” She found a job in an ER and their relationship deepened. Then out of nowhere things began to feel wrong. She felt those old feelings of being watched, being found, and being vulnerable. Then it happened. She was snatched and found herself in the fight of her life. She had learned how to survive and if she couldn't run, she would fight with every ounce in her small body. She would put those self-defense lessons to work and take charge of her life.
