Blurb:
One bad
decision can change your life forever. Alyson Carter has always put her family
first, so the small town of Sage Grove is shocked to learn she’s abandoned them
for a man she met online. Seeking a more exciting life, she moves to his horse
ranch in Colorado.
Attempting
to adjust to life without her, her husband, Kurt, accepts an opportunity to
train with the FBI, reluctantly allowing their daughter, Lacy, to move in with
a family friend. When the friend is kidnapped, it’s discovered Lacy was the
intended target. Pursued by unknown assailants who will stop at nothing to
catch her, Lacy finds herself scared and alone. She turns to her mother for
protection, unaware that her mother’s secluded mountain sanctuary has become a
prison. Alyson discovers she’s merely a pawn in the deadly game of a man she
thought she knew. Secrets and lies draw her family onto a collision course with
cold-blooded killers.
Her
ill-fated decision has placed them all in danger, and she is forced to confront
her enemy head-on to protect herself and her daughter. Now she must depend on a
God she turned her back on and the husband she left behind to save them both.
Excerpt
Lacy heard the glass grind
under her feet as she made her way through the kitchen, stepping over broken
dishes and around the dining chairs. Her phone lit the way to the garage. Her
bag was leaned up against the wall. She grabbed it and sprinted toward the
door. A blood-curdling scream coming from her bedroom pierced the silence. She
unzipped the bag and grabbed a bat. She wasn’t exactly sure what she was
planning to do, but she wasn’t walking into that room unarmed, and there was no
way she was leaving without Kara. Gripping the bat, she crept down the hall.
Deep voices coming from her room, and the sound of furniture being shoved
around stopped her in her tracks. She heard a shuffling of feet, and lifted the
bat over her head. Before she could react she saw three figures emerging from
her room. Squinting through the darkness, she made out the shape of a rifle in
the first one’s hand. The second one had something thrown over his shoulder,
and as he got closer, she could tell i
t was Kara. She couldn’t take this on with
just her bat, but she had to save Kara. Focus, Lacy! Inhaling deeply, she
slowed her pounding heart. They walked into the living room so silently that
she knew they weren’t your average drugheads looking for money. Where were they
taking Kara, and why? What would help Kara most? Lacy thought of attacking
them, but three to one were not good odds. Maybe she could distract them and
try to get them to follow her? There was no time; they were taking her out the
door. She tiptoed across the floor, and peered outside just in time to see them
disappear around the side of the house. A loud creaking noise escaped from
under her foot and she froze mid-step. She held her breath and waited. An
engine started up, and a black SUV backed from the side of the house. She had
to do something, or they were going to take Kara. Her dad would never let this
happen without a fight, so neither would she. Bat above her head, she launched
herself off the porch.
The bat slammed into the front windshield
without making a crack. Her eyes locked with the burly guy on the passenger
side. He went for his door, so Lacy took off running into the dark night.
