Secret Past: Faith in the Face of Crime
About this ebook
She’s not who she thinks she is
A published memorial tribute in her quiet Nebraska town shatters two decades of hiding, exposing her location to the syndicate. With gunmen at her doorstep, Katie Tribani learns her true identity. She’s been in witness protection since childhood, and now her crime-lord father has found her.
As bullets fly, US marshal Daniel Knight whisks her to safety—but not for long. Captured and held prisoner, only Katie can unearth her secret past…if she can survive long enough. Fleeing across state lines, the dedicated deputy leads her up a grueling Colorado mountain trail—straight into another armed trap. Subdued by tranquilizer darts on the descent, they awaken shackled aboard a private jet bound for an oceanfront fortress. Surrounded by hostile bodyguards in sunny Florida, she must outwit a ruthless brother—poised to eliminate her to seize their father's empire.
- Romantic Suspense: An engraved heirloom locket bearing a mysterious initial holds the only tangible clue to Katie’s heritage, but unlocking its secret numbers could cost both her and Daniel their lives.
- Forced Proximity: From navigating the two thousand seven hundred wooden steps of the Manitou Incline to surviving captivity in a Florida boat shed, every narrow escape draws the pair closer.
- Law Enforcement: Driven by the painful disappearance of his own sister, Daniel refuses to abandon his protective duty even when the syndicate offers him an impossible choice.
- Clean Romance: Bound by shared Christian faith and steady courage, the spirited preschool teacher and her steadfast protector find their mutual trust turning into deep devotion under fire.
- Also by This Author: Her Duty Bound Defender, Cold Case Trail and Deadly Badlands Pursuit.
