Jenna Alton was once an FBI agent who would stop at nothing to put those who hurt the innocent behind bars. An addictive short-read about how she became Black Rock Falls’ most loved sheriff.
He grabs at her hair, pulling hard. She doesn’t scream like he wants her to. Instead, she grits her teeth and waits for her chance to escape. Then she runs harder than she has ever run in her life. As she hears his angry footsteps gaining on her, she prays that she makes it out of there alive…
Undercover FBI agent Jenna Alton has been playing wife to dangerous criminal husband Michael Carlos for four years. Tonight she plans to make her escape. But as she gathers her belongings together, she hears something that stops her in her tracks – he’s taken a young girl called Mandy, and she’s being held somewhere close. Jenna knows what she must do – find the child and get her to safety – even if it means risking her own life.
As Michael hosts a party at their secluded home, Jenna pretends to play his doting wife, whilst desperately searching for Mandy. She takes a deep breath as she walks past her husband’s office door. If he catches her, he’ll kill her.
Jenna’s already sacrificed so much, but innocent lives will be lost if she doesn’t leave the house tonight. With the clock ticking, can Jenna save the innocent little girl and get them both out alive?

Gripping and Suspenseful
"Don't Look Back” is the riveting origin story of Sheriff Jenna Alton.
Agent Avril Parker has made the ultimate sacrifice in order to bring down a dangerous drug cartel - she married into it in order to bring them down! After months of indignities, including abuse from her 'husband', Agent Parker is about to make the big bust - and then she discovers something even more sinister is afoot.
After a great loss, and a late-ni9ht escape, the Carlos family is brought down, and Avril testifies to their many criminal activities - which leaves her with a price on her head.
So, once again, Avril Parker makes a sacrifice - her identity.
And so is born Jenna Alton: new face, new name, new career in Black Rock Falls, where - according to newly deputized Jake Rowley - 'nothing ever happens'; and 'it's not like serial killers are hiding out in the forest'.
Thrown right into a probable murder/arson case, Jenna is quickly assimilated into the lives of the residents of Black Rock Falls - although she does come within inches of a major disaster.
Herein we learn Jenna's back story and look forward to more tales involving Dave Kane and her team.
Highly recommended even if you have not read the rest of the series.
