Christian romantic suspense

Illusion of Love

by Sarah Hamaker

A relationship that appears convincing from the outside conceals motives and dangers neither participant fully understands. Suspicion grows as evidence challenges the heroine's assumptions about love, loyalty, and the person she has chosen to trust. A determined hero and faith under pressure help uncover the deception before its consequences become irreversible. Romantic and suspenseful, this Christian novel suits readers who enjoy hidden agendas, emotional uncertainty, danger close to home, and truth breaking through a carefully maintained illusion.
