HIDDEN BAY Series #2
REBECCA'S REVIEW:
"You won't see danger coming . . .until it's too late."
Those ominous words prompted forensic artist Jo Cattrel to flee Michigan following her mother's untimely death, still convinced that the car accident which took Mira Cattrel's life was actually murder. Subsequently Jo reunites with a father she had never known and assumes a quiet life near Raymond Dodge in Hidden Bay, Washington . . . until . . . once again the cryptic words of a parent jolt Jo back into her past . . . or was it really someone else's past?
When a brazen attempt on Jo's life sends her crashing into the Puget Sound, her rescuer turns out to be none other than the one man who had shattered her heart, former Green Beret Cole Mercer. Dear God in heaven, what were the odds? Now working as a private investigator, Cole has been hired to find out what really happened to Mira Cattrel, by a woman trying to clear her brother from suspicion.
Tangled threads! Dizzying details! Second chances! And this is just the beginning!
With the finesse of a seasoned storyteller, the author takes before and afters to a new level leaving the characters befuddled and the reader absolutely fascinated. Jo and Cole seem to be constantly swimming against the tides until they remember that there is only One who can lead them beside still waters.

PAULA'S REVIEW:
Forensic artist Jo Cattrel fled Michigan after her mother died. Now she is on the run again after a warning that her dad gave before he disappeared. Cole Mercer left her without a word but is back at Hidden Bay to protect her and search for her mother’s killer, with the hope of never having to leaver her again.
This was one exciting story with lots of elusive clues and confounding connections. But Jo and Cole have help from law enforcement and Hawk, Cole’s brother, who owns a handy helicopter.
Set in a beautiful, rustic environment in Washington State, the bad guys do not let up. There are so many unanswered questions about family that Jo can hardly keep up. And the closer to the truth, the more danger. But that only helps them rely on God and further their tenuous relationship.
Get ready for a stunning story with a solid faith thread and a steadily building romance. You will not be disappointed.

High-Stakes Romantic Suspense from USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard

When her father sends her a disturbing and cryptic message, Jo leaves the safety of the lodge to find him. But during the ferry crossing, Jo witnesses a murder--and becomes a target.
More surprising to Jo than being in danger is the identity of the person who steps in to protect her--none other than her ex, former Green Beret Cole Mercer. Now a private investigator, Cole has been looking into her mother's death. If he can just uncover the truth, maybe Jo can end her self-imposed captivity and the two of them can pick up the pieces and build a future together.
As Cole and Jo search for answers, the past rushes in like a dangerous tide before the truth can be revealed.
