DESCRIPTION:

Keeping out of sight

is the only way to stay alive.

When Shae Evans spots a familiar face at a Christmas pageant, she knows her witness-protection cover has been blown. Six years ago, her testimony put a crime boss away for life, but his vengeful son never stopped looking for her. Fleeing with her daughter, Shae accepts protection from former FBI agent Mason Payne—her child’s secret father. Now they’re only seconds ahead of the ruthless crime family who want Shae silenced forever. With threats everywhere, will they live to see the New Year?

From Love Inspired Suspense: Courage. Danger. Faith.

MY THOUGHTS:

Not only is Shae Evans running for her life, she has her precious five-year-old daughter Gracie in tow. She became part of the Witness Protection Program nearly six years ago, but has suddenly lost the firm grip she had on her life and that of Gracie’s. They’ve been found. It is just about the Christmas holidays and all of the plans Shae has made for Gracie have evaporated. 

Surprised and perhaps relieved by the sudden appearance of former FBI agent Mason Payne, Shae cautiously hopes that she and her daughter can once again attain safety. However, there is a catch, and Mason realizes it almost immediately upon meeting Gracie for the first time—she is his daughter.

Shae wants safety. Mason wants justice. Can both be achieved without any of them losing their lives? More than that, is there even the tiniest bit of hope that the three can become a family, without ever facing such fear and danger again?

This captivating read is filled with suspense and danger, as Shae races against time with her precious daughter. The book also explores the themes of love and redemption, as Shae and Mason are given a second chance at happiness. Faith is subtly woven throughout the narrative.

Many thanks to Love Inspired Suspense and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
