She escaped right into danger...
A Coldwater Bay Intrigue novel
A routine patrol turns deadly when marine deputy Bree Carrington’s boat is sunk by men carrying illegal weapons. Fleeing a barrage of bullets, she’s suddenly rescued by DEA agent Quinn Strand—her ex-boyfriend. Quinn’s return threatens more than Bree’s heart…because he’s the one the men are really after. As criminals hunt her to get to him, can Quinn and Bree take down a drug ring?

Quinn grabbed her. “Be careful.”
Was he worried about her sprained ankle, or warning her to keep away from him?
She stepped closer. She couldn’t help herself. She might never see him again. Never know if he survived the hit men after him. Bree could hardly breathe.
“Please, Quinn. Let me put you into protective custody.” Maybe she’d be the one to watch over him. Don’t even go there.
He grinned. How she’d always loved that grin. “Nice try, Bree. You know why I can’t.”
“I know what you’ve told me, but I think it’s just your excuse to stay in hiding. To keep people at a distance. To keep me at a distance.”
He leaned in closer. Once again her lungs stilled, but she didn’t need oxygen. She needed Quinn. But she would never let herself love him—he would only leave. He was leaving now.
“There’s no other way, Bree. If the men after me find out about you, that I care about you, then...”
Her pulse ratcheted up. She knew what he didn’t say.
She’d become a target.
I’m so glad you had the opportunity to read Running Target. I hope you enjoyed the story. The characters each had to make some hard choices that I hope you’ll be able to relate to, though maybe you haven’t been chased by drug runners with machine guns, or maybe you haven’t had to choose between your job and keeping someone you love safe. Still, the choices we face every day don’t seem all that much easier.
I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t know how to trust in the Lord. I pray if you don’t already trust in Him, that you’ll learn to do just that, and soon.
