Genre: Romantic Suspense, Christian

Will they uncover the secrets between them before it becomes deadly?

After fending off a would-be abductor, 27-year-old singer-songwriter Hannah Cassidy hides behind a car in the half-empty parking lot behind Pancake Pantry in Nashville. From there, she watches in horror as her attacker grabs another woman and pushes her into a nearby car. Within seconds, the vehicle speeds away.

TBI Special Agent Jake Matheson may have planned a quiet day off and a date with Shannon―the only name her online profile revealed―for an introductory lunch, but after pulling into a parking space on 21st Avenue South, he hears a scream. He races to the back of the building and finds a frightened young woman bent forward and gasping for breath.

Thrown together by uncanny circumstances and driven by the whys and what-ifs of secrets yet to be revealed, Hannah and Jake set out to find the connection between them before it becomes deadly.

EXCERPT

Strong arms pulled Hannah Cassidy backward, her heels barely touching the pavement as her captor dragged her across the half-vacant parking lot. The harder she fought, the more the man tightened his grip on her throat, and each breath she drew threatened to be her last. She willed herself not to lose consciousness.

Or hope.

If she could land one, well-placed kick, she would make a run for freedom. Fighting to fill her lungs with air, Hannah summoned the strength to secure her footing. Then, with a twist of her body, she landed a blow, driving her heel into the man’s shin.

“O-o-ouch! You little—” He released his hold, enough for her to pull away.

Lunging forward, she calculated her escape. If she could make it to the main street, she could solicit help from a passerby. Her ability to outrun her attacker would either seal her fate—or set her free.

She chose the latter and took off running. Midway to Belcourt Avenue, she heard footsteps falling behind her. And then she heard the shrill scream of a siren.

Could it be that easy?

Turning toward the sound of the siren, she scanned the landscape in front of her in search of her rescuer. But the Metro Nashville police car rolled past on Wedgewood Avenue, lights ablaze, oblivious to her situation. Still, it had been enough to distract the man chasing her, who had stopped to watch the police car. While he was distracted, Hannah ducked behind a nearby vehicle.
