Rules of Contact

Claire Boudreaux abruptly walks away from her medical residency, hoping to change the course of her life. But she cannot imagine the brutal nightmare that’s about to tear her world apart.

When the earth splits open and swallows her car, Claire becomes trapped in a subterranean maze, the site of a deadly game in which women are ruthlessly used and hunted by men for the voyeuristic entertainment of an unseen audience. Here, right and wrong have no meaning. Only the rules matter.

Claire’s sole hope for survival lies in trusting a barbaric man who claims her as his captive, insisting it’s the only way he can protect her from the other hunters. A fierce combatant, Rafe has lived his entire life inside the game and doesn’t believe her wild tales of the world outside. As he educates her in the brutal and degrading rules of The Hunt, Claire desperately attempts to break through Rafe’s unswerving allegiance to the laws of his world and open his mind to the existence of another reality.

A harrowing tale that will grip your soul, The Rules of Contact raises provocative questions about the ultimate nature of morality and the value of human life.
