For the past five years, FBI Special Agent Risa Jacobs has worked in the violent crimes against children division of the Houston FBI. She’s never had reason to believe there’s a target on her back . . . until now.
When the long-awaited reunion between Risa and her brother, Trenton, ends in tragedy, Risa is riddled with guilt, unable to cope with the responsibility she feels over his death. On leave from the FBI, Risa returns to her former career as an English teacher at a local college, only to see her past and present collide when one of her students, Carson Mercury, turns in an assignment that reads like an eyewitness account of her brother’s murder, with details never revealed publicly.
Alarmed by Carson’s inside knowledge of Trenton’s death, Risa reaches out to her former partner at the FBI. Special Agent Gage Patterson has been working a string of baby kidnappings, but he agrees to help look into Carson’s background. Risa and Gage soon discover their cases might be connected as a string of high-value thefts have occurred at properties where security systems were installed by Carson’s stepfather and children have gone missing. There’s a far more sinister plot at play than they ever imagined, and innocent lives are in danger.

Dear DiAnn, I have read a number of your books, and have enjoyed all of them so far, so will look forward to this new one. Would love to win a print copy! Again, you have our sympathies for your loss of your son. May the Lord continue to give you comfort. Psalm 91. As we work with a variety of people in our community, (where my husband is a minister), we continue to pray for people to come to the Lord, and try to show them that He is the answer in life to give them peace, and that if they accept Him as their Saviour, He change their lives for the better. As you know, only through Him do we have hope. . . God bless. Take care now. We love you. In Christ, Lual Krautter, a fan of CF. . . If I have a mailing address for DiAnn, I’d like to send her my harp CD as a gift titled Lual Krautter Tis True that has all original songs of how the Lord brought us through various difficult things, as I know it will be a blessing. http://www.facebook.com/LualOKrautter

Wonderful interview! Book sounds so good, am adding it to my goodreads ‘want to read’ list.
DiAnn, so very sorry about your son.
Thank you for this interview and for the opportunity to win your book. You said three things in this interview that really helped me; ‘if God is in it, it will be’; adoption; and ‘how will this bless someone else’ although I am not a writer, I am trying to open a maternity home…so your words blessed me ! oh the m & m’s too 🙂 !
