It’s a risk he was willing to take until he met the woman who could change his world. Joy Rockwell was pissed at the universe. Or was she? The pull from the Vessel was strong, dragging her down and bringing her mean out. She’s journeyed to Africa with virtual strangers, but she knew in her heart this is where she was meant to be.

Will they be able to fall in love along the way? Or will the pair be torn apart by circumstances beyond their control? Reader Advisory: This book is best read in sequence as part of a series.
