ABOUT THE BOOK



Where do you run when you know you cannot hide?



Andie Ryborg has nowhere else to go. Her father's campaign for governor and his aggressive war on drugs has chased her from their family home. Drawn to Miami's exotic Coconut Grove, Andie hopes to find a quiet refuge where she can discover herself apart from the public eye. But even in that seclusion, even with an officer assigned to protect her, Andie's privacy has been violated. Someone is watching



Evan Markham's entire life has been a tug-of-war between what is and what could be. He is drawn to a life that is beyond his reach and emotions have clouded his judgment. Evan knows that earning someone's trust isn't easy, especially when he plans to break it. But in the secret corridors of the criminal underworld, he knows what must be done, and he is determined to see it through. Whatever the cost



When enemies close in, a sudden turn of events leaves them both questioning. Where is God in all of this? Who is this enigmatic stranger who offers to help? They both know their lives are in danger. But what about their hearts?

My Review:

I thought this was an okay book. There were lots of twists and turns and interesting characters. It is a Christian mystery/suspense book with a little romance in it. The ending took me a little by surprise. I wanted to fuss at some of the characters at some point in the book. The beginning was a little slow and repetitious but it picked up speed and the ending came before I knew it so an okay debut novel. I look forward to seeing what this author writes next.
