Former competitive figure skater Christy Reed has endured more heartbreak than most people could imagine. After losing her parents in a car accident and her sister Ginny in a devastating house fire, she's finally beginning to rebuild her life when an unsettling letter arrives—addressed in Ginny's unmistakable handwriting and claiming her sister is still alive. Desperate for answers, Christy turns to FBI Special Agent Lance McGregor, a former Delta Force operator whose first major investigation with the bureau quickly becomes a dangerous game of deception. As Lance searches for the truth behind Ginny's supposed death, disturbing clues suggest that someone has been manipulating events for a sinister purpose—and that Christy herself may be the next target. With danger closing in and an unexpected romance developing between them, Lance and Christy must confront painful memories, trust their growing feelings, and uncover the truth before it's too late. Combining a chilling mystery, relentless suspense, Christian faith, and heartfelt romance, this romantic suspense novel is perfect for a stormy night or a long winter evening when you're craving a gripping investigation, a protective hero, and a story that keeps you turning pages.
