A dangerous reunion they may not survive
In this Mount Shasta Secrets novel
FBI agent Tori Peterson intends to find her sister’s murderer, even if someone’s willing to kill her to keep the truth hidden.

“What were you thinking going over those falls?”
She should have expected the third degree from Ryan. Tori kept her voice low and replied, “That’s not exactly what happened.”
“So you weren’t kayaking alone? You didn’t go over the falls?”
Tori locked eyes with him. “I went to the river to travel in Sarah’s path the day she died.” She held back the furious tears that surged unexpectedly. “So I went kayaking.”
“Why do you torture yourself?” His expression twisted into one of severe pain. “Is that why you went over the falls?”
Her heart might just rip open. He knew her better than that. “How could you even think that? I planned to turn back. But someone shot at me and hit the kayak. I tried to get away, and in the end, I had nowhere else to go. The falls grabbed me. I thought I was going to die.”
Ryan’s mouth hung open as if he couldn’t quite absorb the full meaning of her words, and he appeared to search for an adequate response but came up empty.
“Someone tried to kill me.”
Thank you so much for reading Deadly Evidence! I hope you enjoyed the story and the first book in my newest series, Mount Shasta Secrets. As you might have figured out by now if you’ve read my other books, I love beautiful settings that usually include mountains or a Pacific Northwest coastline.
In Deadly Evidence, tragedy struck Tori’s life when her sister was murdered. Through that tragedy, Tori’s perspectives changed drastically. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what it sometimes takes to make us realize what’s truly important in life—the friends and family around us whom we should appreciate and not take for granted. Whom we should take the time to cherish and love.
But it doesn’t have to take a tragedy for us to savor the time we have with our loved ones
