Taige Branch had a hard childhood. Her parents died when
she was young. Her uncle took her in but he abused her
phyically and mentally. The only acceptance she received
was from some friends; until she met Cullen Morgan. Cullen
accepted her unusual qualities and they fell in love. Until
one day, Cullen's mother was killed and he couldn't forgive
Taige for not knowing about it ahead of time.
He trampled her heart and threw her out. Even though he was
cruel, Taige accepted that she needed to develop some
control of her gifts. Now, Taige is a contractor with the
FBI and she uses her abilities to their fullest. Even
though she and Cullen have had no contact for years, she
knows that they will see each other again.
When Cullen's daughter is kidnapped, he seeks out Taige for
help. Taige has dreamed of a young girl for years. Her
shock at seeing that young girl in the picture of Cullen's
daughter is unfeigned.
Together, Cullen and Taige will seek to find the monster who
kidnapped Jillian and keep one step ahead of the FBI. The
agent who works with Taige knows of Jillian's own gifts and
wants to use them to find the killer.
Ms. Walker has delivered a gut-wrenching thriller and a
heart-wrenching romance in one with THE MISSING. Told from
the perspective
of Taige, we see her mature from a young woman to a woman
who has the courage to face the evil of the world not
expecting anything in return.
There is an immense satisfaction in reading the ending of
this story.

his life is another tragedy. His beloved little girl has
been kidnapped, and Taige is his only hope of finding her.
Working together against the clock, Cullen and Taige can’t
help but wonder whether—if they find his daughter in time—

burns between them…
