I was stolen from an airport. Taken from everything I knew, everything
I was used to. Taken to sand and heat, dirt and danger. And
he expected me to love him. This is my story. A letter from nowhere.

Sixteen year old Gemma is kidnapped from Bangkok airport and taken
to the Australian Outback. This wild and desolate landscape becomes
almost a character in the book, so vividly is it described.

Ty, her captor, is no stereotype. He is young, fit and completely
gorgeous. This new life in the wilderness has been years in the
planning. He loves only her, wants only her. Under the hot glare
of the Australian sun, cut off from the world outside, can the force
of his love make Gemma love him back?

The story takes the form of a letter, written by Gemma to Ty, reflecting
on those strange and disturbing months in the outback. Months
when the lines between love and obsession, and love and dependency,
blur until they don´t exist - almost.
