Wait for Me

A wedding reception is disrupted by a kidnapping in Warren’s pulse-quickening sixth and final Montana Rescue inspirational thriller (after Storm Front). Search and rescue incident commander Pete Brooks has been in Missouri helping survivors of a flash flood. He rescued a family, but their child didn’t survive, and he leaves for his home in Montana with a heavy heart. Jess Tagg (the heir of a billionaire who became rich through a Ponzi scheme) is living the life of a New York socialite with her fiancé, Felipe. But when Jess is attacked by one of her father’s former victims and her mother nearly discovers that her romantic engagement is actually a ruse, Jess decides she must return to Montana and come clean with longtime crush Pete to see whether there is any hope for them to be together. Mutual friend Ben King’s wedding conveniently offers an excuse for many of the previous installments’ characters to converge on Mercy Falls, Mont. Among them, Ned, a brother of one of the PEAK team members and failed smoke jumper, goes to the reception in hopes of surprising Shae, with whom he previously survived a tornado, with the news that he has enlisted in the Navy. But Ned, Shae, and Jess are run off the road and kidnapped, and Pete and Felipe must come together to find them. Faith becomes crucial as the characters rely on their prayers to get them through the harrowing events. This finale will thrill series fans, but newcomers will need to read the previous entries.
