About the Book

The Hunted Heir  

Title: The Hunted Heir 

Author: Jayna Breigh 
Publisher: Kregel Publications 
Release Date: January 28, 2025 
Genre: Romantic Legal Drama

After a tragic loss, private investigator Nona Taylor swore off romantic entanglements and distanced herself from the world. Once a year, on New Year's Eve, she attends church to beg God for forgiveness, haunted by the guilt of driving her twin sister to her death.

Attorney DeMarcus Johnson is determined to climb the ladder to partnership by winning high-profile cases at his Los Angeles law firm, harnessing his ADHD hyperfocus to excel. He's everything Nona knows to steer clear of--an overconfident ex-jock willing to do anything for success. 

Their worlds collide when Nona's pastor receives a mysterious letter claiming he's the sole heir to a substantial estate. Desperate for answers, Nona infiltrates a lavish charity ball, only to be found out by a suspicious stranger--so she latches onto DeMarcus and concocts a fib about being his fiancée. 

Now bound by a false engagement, the pair reluctantly join forces to discover the truth about the inheritance. But when an unseen enemy strikes, they realize the stakes are higher than they thought. Can Nona and DeMarcus overcome their differences to keep the pastor safe, secure DeMarcus's partnership, and preserve a future for themselves?

PAULA'S REVIEW:

What a fantastic debut for Jayna Breigh.
 
This book has it all. Flawed, but redeemable hero and heroine, a problematic puzzle to solve, and a grandma who imparts, godly wisdom every chance she gets. Pair that with a fake engagement, turned to a steady, swoony romance, and you have a winning plot that does not disappoint. I love the heroine, Nona, who is dealing with guilt, but seeks to atone for a wrong that caused grief. Along comes a lawyer, and ex jock DeMarcus, who makes his spiritual journey back to God with the help of memories of his grandma, and her spouting scripture for every occasion.
 
The mystery that Nona helps Pastor Grant solve, delves into interesting genealogy, and there is a plot to grab his inheritance. The story takes a lot of turns, but the pieces all fit together very nicely.
 
I loved this book and cannot wait to see what this author comes up with next.
