When FBI analyst Paul Stephens reconnects with an old acquaintance—the charming but adrift Jimmy—and falls for the radiant Agent Emily Mathews, all three are drawn into a dangerous undercover sting against a corrupt federal judge with mob ties. As Emily is pushed to compromise her standards, kidnapped, and hunted, Paul risks his career to save her and Jimmy confronts the family tragedy that broke his faith. A clean LDS suspense novel about integrity, redemption, and hope. A clean, fast-paced FBI thriller with heart—suspense you can hand to your teens or your parents. A tender redemption story wrapped in a crime novel: a broken man rediscovers faith while helping rescue an FBI agent. Explores a question every grieving family asks: can a loved one who strayed still be with us forever? A love triangle resolved with rare maturity—choose the person someone is, not who you hope they'll become. “All I know is that whenever we do something we know is wrong, for whatever reason, we become a little bit desensitized to that behavior. It makes it a little bit harder to make the right choice the next time we are faced with a similar decision.”Perfect for an adult Latter-day Saint who enjoys clean, faith-affirming suspense with a touch of humor and romance and appreciates a message about redemption and hope.
