Sarah's Secrets
Lisa Childs
EVERY WOMAN HAS HER MYSTERYAnd Sarah Mars-Hutchins had more than one secret to keep. But her tumultuous past caught up with the young widow in the flesh when a devastatingly handsome former FBI agent came to question her. Royce "The Tracker" Graham was dangerous to the safe little world Sarah had created for herself and her son in the tiny town of Winter Falls, Michigan. Someone wanted to remove Sarah from her child's life, yet Royce was there, foiling kidnapping attempts and murderous plots…all the while disarming her with his sultry midnight kisses. But could Royce unlock the secrets of Sarah's heart before it was too late?
“I used to work for the FBI. Crimes Against Children Division,” Royce said, a muscle twitching in his jaw
“So what does your experience tell you about this?”
“Usually kidnapping of a child involves a parent, a vengeful ex.”
Sarah’s lips twitched, but no humor tickled her. “I’m a widow, Mr. Graham.”
“There are more than ex-spouses. Ex-lovers get vengeful, too. Kidnappings are usually personal.”
“That’s not the case. It must be someone’s sick idea of a joke.” She had almost convinced herself of that.
Then he spoke her greatest fear aloud. “Or something or someone inadvertently thwarted their kidnapping attempt.”
If the threat was not a joke, but very real, who would protect them then? Could she count on Royce…a stranger?
Dear Harlequin Intrigue Reader,
We have a thrilling summer lineup for this month and throughout the season to make your beach reading positively sizzle!
To start things off with a big splash, you won’t want to miss the next installment in bestselling author Rebecca York’s popular 43 LIGHT STREET series. An overturned conviction gives a hardened hero a new name, a new face and the means, motive and opportunity to close in on the real killer. But will his quest for revenge prevent him from becoming Intimate Strangers with the woman who fuels his every fantasy?
Reader favorite Debra Webb will leave you on the edge of your seat with the continuation of her ongoing series COLBY AGENCY. In Her Secret Alibi, a lethally sexy undercover agent will stop at nothing in the name of justice, only to fall under the mesmerizing spell of his prime suspect!
The heat wave continues with Julie Miller’s next tantalizing tale in THE TAYLOR CLAN. When the one woman whom a smoldering arson investigator can’t stop wanting becomes the target of a stalker, will Kansas City’s Bravest battle an inferno of danger—and desire—in the name of love? And in Sarah’s Secrets by Lisa Childs, shocking secret agendas ignite perilous sparks between a skittish single mom and a cynical tracker!
If you’re in the mood for breathtaking romantic suspense, you’ll be riveted by our selections this month!
Enjoy!
