Synopsis

After a string of break-ins shatters her sense of safety in Chicago, marketing executive Tasha Baker retreats to the only refuge she has left-her grandmother's quiet cabin in the Northwoods of Minnesota. But the peaceful lakes and pine forests offer no protection when her grandmother is suddenly poisoned and three million dollars disappears without a trace. Now someone believes Tasha holds the key to finding the missing money. She doesn't¿ does she? With seven people already dead, it's clear the killer will stop at nothing. And Tasha's only hope may be the man she once loved-the man who broke her heart. Jake Parsons, head of Parsons Security Consultants, is an expert at identifying weaknesses and neutralizing threats for high-profile clients. Protecting companies is easy. Protecting Tasha? That's another story. When she storms back into town with danger at her heels, Jake must confront both a ruthless killer and the unresolved feelings he thought he'd buried. As bodies fall and secrets unravel, Jake and Tasha are drawn into a deadly race through the forests and frozen lakes of Minnesota's Northwoods. Trust is fragile. Time is running out. And faith may be their only anchor in the storm. This fast-paced romantic suspense delivers nonstop action, high-stakes twists, and a tender second-chance romance grounded in themes of trusting God's strength in the darkest trials. Perfect for fans of clean, faith-filled suspense, this gripping story will keep you turning pages late into the night. Also launching the "Northwoods Investigations" series, readers will glimpse two more heart-pounding romances to come: Army veterans Mike and Carolyn, both wary of love, must confront their past wounds when Carolyn goes off the grid searching for her missing mother-while a killer's attacks turn dangerously personal. And when local EMT Savannah stumbles upon a meth lab, she becomes a target. Brent, a tattooed rookie officer and former addict, must go undercover into the very world he barely escaped to save the woman he's fallen for. In the Northwoods, secrets don't stay buried¿ and love may be the greatest risk of all.
