Subversive - Rood, Raena

. .

Résumé :
The United States is no longer a land of freedom. Christianity has been declared a threat, and believers are hunted, imprisoned, or worse. Gemma Alcott knows the price of defiance. She's paid it with her freedom, her safety, and the future she once dreamed of. Now she hides among the ruins with other subversives, clinging to a faith the world has outlawed-and mourning the love she left behind. Taylor Nolan wears the uniform of the very men who destroyed Gemma's world. As a soldier in the government's elite Task Force, he's been trained to eliminate threats without question. Gemma was once his first love. Now, she's his target. But when she's captured by a rogue Task Force unit-one even more brutal than his own-Taylor becomes the only one who might be able to save her. As Gemma braces for what awaits her in the darkness of captivity, Taylor must confront the question that could define-or destroy-him: Is he fighting against evil... or for it? Because in a nation where truth is treason and faith is a death sentence, love might be the most dangerous rebellion of all....

Biographie:
Raena lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and three children. When she's not writing, she enjoys exploring historic battlefields (her kids always drag her up the tallest lookout towers), family movie nights that feature cheesy 80's and 90's action films, and daydreaming of expanding her backyard farm (goats are still under discussion). Her goal is to write stories that challenge, encourage, and remind readers that even in the darkness, when all hope seems lost, God is always in control....

Sommaire:
When Christianity is banned in the United States, those Christians who refuse to renounce their faith are arrested and imprisoned. To avoid arrest, some go into hiding. They are known as subversives, and they are ruthlessly hunted by soldiers of the government's Task Force. Since the night of her parent's arrest, Gemma Alcott has been hiding in an abandoned coal mine with a group of subversives. She's found a home-and someone to love-but she's never forgotten the love she left behind. Taylor Nolan, a young Task Force officer, believes wholeheartedly in his mission and in the danger posed by subversives. But when his first love, Gemma, is captured by a rogue Task Force unit, his loyalties are put to the test. Facing interrogation and possible death, Gemma must summon the strength-and faith-to protect her friends, no matter the cost. And Taylor must decide if he's fighting against evil...or for it....
