Amazon Bestselling Christian suspense/romance on international human trafficking--a story of hope!
Human Trafficking…Asha knew nothing about it before meeting 16-year-old Rani, stolen from her home and forced into prostitution in Kolkata, India. Asha must help this girl escape, but Mark, a 3rd-generation missionary, keeps warning her away from the red-light district and its workers. Will she ever discover why? And will they ever stop their intense arguments long enough to admit their even more intense feelings for one another?
When Asha sneaks out one last time in a desperate attempt to rescue her friend, someone follows her through the night. Is freedom possible? Or will she, too, become one of the stolen?
Excerpt
Asha shivered despite the intense heat. Why had she never considered the brutal fact that she, too, might get caught? Stolen. Sold. Bartered over like one of the pieces of blood-dripping meat in this filthy market.
Someone was following her.
Back home she would not have noticed, but weeks in India had taught her to be wary. All the noise and clamor along the busy Kolkata street could not distract from the shadow that appeared, then retreated whenever she turned to find its source.
The person following her was not very good at the game of stealth.
That fact, however, did not make the predator any less dangerous.
Who was it? And why was she the target?
Slipping around the nearest corner, a whisper of wind teasing her shawl out behind her, Asha dodged a wandering goat, then turned quickly down an alley to the left, hoping to lose whoever was on her trail.
She was already late. But better to make Rani wait than to put her in even more danger.
If that were possible.
Could there be any danger worse than what her friend had already experienced? Sixteen-year-old Rani had traveled to the city following the promise of a well-paying job, only to find herself deceived, stripped of all freedom, stolen from all that gave her dignity or hope.
Stolen and sold. Asha could not stop her body from trembling.
She flattened a shaking hand against the wall. Edging forward inch by inch, she angled her head to glimpse around the corner without revealing her face.
Was he gone?
Professional Reviews
Read All Night
I rarely--and I do mean rarely--give five stars for a book. To me, five stars means I couldn't put it down. I stayed awake and planned my work around reading the book.
Well Stolen Woman by Kimberly Rae is just such a book. I did stay awake one night to finish it. When I wasn't reading it, I was thinking about when I could read it.
Asha was born in Bangladesh and adopted as an infant by an American couple. She has a desire to go back to India as a missionary. However, her innocence blinds her to the dark side of India. Her good intentions and refusal to listen lead her into a dark and dangerous world. She requires rescuing more than once.
This book has tension, danger, love, conflict, and victory. If you are a suspense fan, you will not want to miss Stolen Woman by Kimberly Rae. I highly recommend it.

Best Book in a LONG time
This book was excellent in so many ways! It was a great story line that kept me on the edge of my seat but it also opens the world up to knowing more about human trafficking which is happening right now! Thank you Kimberly Rae for being brave enough to share such an amazing story!
