Christian romantic suspense

Raging Waters

by Dana Mentink

True-crime podcaster Mackenzie Bardine returns to the unsolved murder of her older brother, convinced his death is connected to a powerful drug dealer known as Bullseye. Her search leads to wilderness guide Gideon Landry, her brother's former best friend and a man Mackenzie has long blamed for not saving him. A violent storm strands them together while Bullseye's people close in and floodwaters transform the investigation into a survival race. This romantic suspense combines a cold case, enemies-to-lovers tension, wilderness danger, and a heroine discovering that justice and vengeance are not the same goal.
