After a whirlwind romance, Taryn Young is preparing to board a plane at Houston International Airport, bound for a dream honeymoon, when a bomb decimates the terminal. Injured but still alive, she awakens to discover her husband is missing and they're both considered prime suspects in the attack. Further, the FBI is convinced her husband isn't who he appears to be.
Agent Grayson Hall's number-one priority is to catch those responsible for the day's act of terror. All evidence is pointing to Taryn and her new husband. But his instinct tells him her pleas of innocence are genuine. Is her naiveté just for show, or could she truly be another victim of a master scheme, possibly linked to the software she recently developed for her company?
With both their lives and reputations on the line, and the media outcry for justice increasing with each passing minute, Taryn and Grayson have no choice but to trust one another . . . and pray they can uncover the truth before they become two more casualties.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this first installment of Christy Award winning Mills's Deadly Pursuit trilogy, beautiful but socially awkward Taryn Young marries Francis "Shep" Shepherd after a brief courtship. Acutely aware of the national importance of her software design skills, she is hooked by Shep's appreciation of her work. But as they board a plane for their honeymoon, a bomb explodes. Shep disappears; airport tapes show him fleeing just before the explosion. FBI agent Vince Bradshaw accuses Taryn of planting the bomb with Shep. But Bradshaw's partner, Grayson Hall, believes Taryn's protests of innocence. Hall and Taryn join forces to find the connection between the bombing and the security software she is developing and to find their respective paths back to God. The murder of Taryn's best friend Claire and the abduction of Claire's daughter, Taryn's godchild, raise the stakes higher. The surprising identities and motives of those villains, and the growing trust between Taryn and Grayson, will keep readers turning pages in this fast-moving, intricately plotted thriller.
