Getting To Know You

About the Book

In a fast-paced romantic thriller, a man and woman, first unknowingly and then unwillingly, starting from Las Vegas go on what is perhaps one of the most extreme "blind dates" imaginable as they are forced to descend into the Hell of triple-digit August heat in the Grand Canyon.

Meet Vic Salem, self-help author, and Shelby Cotton, professional escort woman, as they desperately fight to save their lives in this tightrope walk of life and death trauma. In their dramatic effort to escape and seek revenge on their Vegas enemies, the descent into this exquisite Hades forces them to open up to each other and to the extraordinary primitive natures embedded in their survival instincts. Their search for life reaches vision quest intensity and delivers an astounding series of personal and mythic discoveries unveiling for them the deeper aspects of love, commitment, courage and the profundity of free will.
