MISSING CHILD
Kate Elliot’s suburban life turns upside down when her sister is shot and her niece kidnapped. Unsure of whom to trust, she turns to FBI agent Marcus O’Brian. But Kate doesn’t want to leave the case to the authorities. Against the handsome agent’s orders, she tracks her niece to Paris, and the City of Light quickly becomes a city of danger. Marcus can’t explain why he feels such a strong connection with the headstrong woman, but soon he’s taking on the role of Kate’s protector. Yet when the kidnappers demand a ransom Kate can’t deliver, he’s not sure how much longer he can keep her alive. Now Marcus has the next twenty-four hours to save a stolen child and the woman he’s grown to love.
“Kate, wait. Before we go…”
Her gaze narrowed. “What’s wrong?”
“I want you to return to the States. I can get you on the next flight.”
“Forget it.” She started for the door. “I can’t return. Not now…not until I find my niece.”
He stepped in front of her, blocking the door. “After tonight, isn’t it clear that it’s not safe for you in Paris?”
“My niece isn’t exactly safe right now, either, Marcus. I’m not leaving her behind.”
“I understand how you feel—”
“Do you?”
He took her hands, but she pulled away. It didn’t matter what he thought. She was staying, and she was going to make the ransom exchange at the Eiffel Tower.
“Kate, those people don’t play by the rules. They don’t care if you get hurt. But I do.”
“You need me here, Marcus, and you know it.”
“I need you safe. What if the next time you run into them you’re not so lucky? I don’t want you a part of this—”
“It’s too late. I’m already a part of it. And I’ll see it to the end.” Even if it cost her her life.

If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
—Psalms 139:8–10
