Drawn out of hiding…
and marked for death
When someone attacks her at her shop, Jenna Clark knows her secret identity has been compromised. The killer she’s been hiding from has found her…or has he? Police officer Wyatt Stephens vows to protect her, but he doesn’t trust that she’s telling him the whole truth. Is the killer after Jenna, or has he mistaken her for her dead twin?

“Someone thinks I’m my twin...except...she’s dead.”
She handed Wyatt a battered sheet of newspaper. “I got this in the mail two years ago.”
“One Dead in Hit-and-Run.” The woman in the photo was a mirror of Jenna.
Why did someone think she was alive? And why did they want her dead now?
If he was in charge, he’d have already moved Jenna to a safe house and let the Feds sort it out. Instead, they expected her to meet a killer in a prearranged location.
Jenna sighed. “Yesterday I was probably the safest I’ve ever been. I had friends, a job I love, a place that feels like home. Now I’ve never been in more danger.”
His phone buzzed, and he knew the time had come. “You don’t have to go. Say the word and we can hide you.”
“I want this finished now.” Without hesitation she stepped out the door and out of his line of sight. The sound of the closing door reverberated.
Along with a gunshot.
Thank you so much for joining me for Wyatt and Jenna’s story! It has been an interesting one to write. Jenna even kept a few secrets from me until she was ready to tell. So did her sister, Amy, whom you will get to meet in the next book!
Sadly, too many of us feel like Jenna—unwanted, unlovable, broken. That’s one of the reasons I love Matthew 10:29-31, which was the driving verse for this book: “Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.” I also love Psalm 139, where it talks about God knowing all of the days of our lives before we were born, loving us so much that He wrote them down. I don’t know about you, but that makes me feel safe, protected by the Father who created me. Trivia bit—if you read Erin and Jason’s story in Fatal Response, you can see how Psalm 139 plays into that one, too.
This is what I want you to know, what I’m desperate for you to know if you don’t already—God loves you. He loves you so big that He has even counted the number of hairs on your head—also Matthew 10. You might feel alone. You might feel like Jenna does—wholly unlovable. But that is never true. It has never been true. Whether you know Him or not, God loves you and He has already set up a way for you to know Him. I’d love it if you took a minute to ponder those verses in Matthew or if you went to Psalm 139 and saw His love for you firsthand.
Truly, my prayer is that this book and others like it will not only entertain you, but will also lead you to the truth of how fully you are loved.
