Track of Courage

Warren (One Last Chance) launches the Call of the Wild series with an exhilarating tale of survival and second chances. Facing a major life decision, pop star Keely Williams leaves New York City for Alaska, where she hopes meeting her estranged birth mom will give her some clarity. But she can’t connect with her mother, and her flight home is hijacked and crashes in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness. The downed plane is found by Dawson Mulligan, a former cop who’s determined to redeem himself for failing to rescue an ex by getting Keely home safely. As a snowstorm approaches, the two trek to a small community whose faith and tight-knit bonds inspire them to open up about their pasts. The danger’s far from over, however, and when Keely and Dawson find themselves entangled in an elaborate drug-trafficking plot linked to the hijacking, they must learn to trust themselves and one another to survive. In Warren’s hands, the Alaskan bush becomes a visceral force that pushes the characters to grapple with their faith, while the central romance serves as a strong emotional anchor for the fast-moving plot. Warren’s fans and newcomers alike will enjoy this high-stakes romantic thrill ride. (Jan.)
