And the Two Shall Meet (Replica #6) is a part of the Replica collection.

The mountains look peaceful. The kids and the leaders seem friendly. The only challenge supposedly comes from within yourself. Wilderness Adventure - it'll change your life forever. . . .

Amy arrives at Wilderness Adventure all pumped up for a week of extreme sports. Her superior strength gives her an edge over the others. But she's ready to rock-climb, mountain-bike, and hang-glide without apologies. Only Eric and Tasha know why things are so easy for her. And Amy is glad they've come along - especially Eric, since she's crazy about him.

But the rugged bonding experience doesn't go exactly as she's planned.

Amy falls for a mysterious guy. Freak accidents abound. Secrets rule.

Soon "extreme" doesn't begin to describe the mad scramble for survival.

Amy's life will change, all right - change forever!
