Story I read years ago about a rich hermit/loner living in the boondocks.
Friend of a social worker.
Young female teen in trouble/bad home life, maybe about to be pimped out.
I believe the hermit wanted a companion slave and the social worker knows this, but a better life for the teen female.
To save the teen, the social worker must kidnap teen and give to the hermit.
For the transfer, the worker and hermit must travel about 30 miles each to meet in the middle of nowhere.
The social worker might have been given a gift of money (30 thousand?).
Good chance it was not on this site.
