Suspect Witness

Suspect Witness
Ryshia Kennie

An undercover operation is the only way to bring an innocent witness home…After months searching for a school teacher on the run from a criminal gang, CIA operative Josh Sedovich finally finds the innocent beauty in the remotest parts of Malaysia. Eager to get Erin Argon home and into protective custody, Josh goes undercover to gain her trust and prove he isn't a threat. And although Erin claims to have witnessed the murder of a very dangerous man, Josh knows there's more to the story than she's letting on. But getting to know Erin–in public and behind closed doors–makes Josh realise just how determined she is to keep the truth hidden. Seems he isn't the only one keeping secrets that could get them both killed…

He looked down and her eyes met his.

“There’s no time to hesitate.”

She pulled her hand free.

“Who are you?”

“No time. I’m here to get you out.”

“How do I know that?”

“Look,” he gritted out. “There’s no time to offer proof. You have two choices. Trust me or…” He nodded his head backward, where it was obvious only death waited.

She stood there almost rocking on her heels. He could see the indecision, the unwillingness to trust any further, and he didn’t blame her.

“I’m saying this only once more before I throw you over my shoulder. We can do it your way or we can do it mine.”

She finds that there’s never a lack of places to set an edge-of-the-seat suspense, as prairie winters find her dreaming of warmer places for heart-stopping stories. They are places where deadly villains threaten intrepid heroes and heroines who battle for their right to live or even to love. For more, visit www.ryshiakennie.com (http://www.ryshiakennie.com).

For Ken—who led the journey through Malaysia’s Gunung Mulu caves with the feeble light of a travel flashlight.

Our hiking boots were ankle-deep in bat guano and each step was treacherous. I clutched the back of his shirt as I couldn’t always see in the fleeting light.

But the vast beauty of the cave was worth a ton of bat guano.
