Silent Storm: a romantic suspense novel set in Oklahoma 

by Christina Rost 

---

A guarded British hero, a small-town bookshop owner, and a long-buried family treasure that a ruthless rival will stop at nothing to steal.

Henry Allen Taylor has spent years choosing safety over spontaneity. After a devastating accident and a broken heart, order is the only thing that makes sense.

Until a family crest on an obscure genealogy forum leads him from London to rural Oklahoma.

Paisley Snyder is rooted in the kind of life Henry has always longed for but never learned how to claim. She loves her bookshop, her small town, and the church community that has become family. When Henry rents her bungalow under the guise of a quiet vacation, he never expects her laughter, faith, and fearless kindness to unsettle him so completely.

But Henry is not in Oklahoma by chance.

The rusted box found on Paisley’s property may be connected to a missing Taylor fortune, and Henry is not the only one searching for it. As old secrets surface and danger closes in, his growing feelings for Paisley collide with the truth he has been hiding.

Henry came to Oklahoma looking for answers. But when Paisley’s life and heart are on the line, will he risk losing control to protect the love he never saw coming?

Perfect for fans of Denise Hunter, Dani Pettrey, and Susan May Warren, this faith-based romantic mystery blends small-town charm, clean Christian romance, and danger that refuses to stay buried.

Buy now to experience a faith-based romantic mystery where family secrets, small-town hope, and love collide.

THIS WEEK ON THE SUSPENSE SISTERS

Congratulations to Giovanna Kranenberg who won our Summer of Suspense Contest!

We have exciting things planned for you this week on the Suspense Sisters!

On Tuesday, Suspense Sister Marji Laine will tell us what’s hot in inspirational suspense and mystery.

Wednesday, Suspense Sister Mary Alford talks about writing books set in different seasons. Someone will win their choice of one of four of Mary’s exciting novels.

UNSOLVED AMISH ABDUCTION (Set in spring)

The mystery of her sister’s disappearance could reveal some deadly answers…

An anonymous letter containing her missing sister’s bracelet lures Anna Hartzler back to her Amish hometown—and into a trap set by the kidnapper she escaped years ago. She’s rescued from another abduction by Jaxson Thomas, her former neighbor turned police officer. Now Anna must depend on Jaxson to protect her and her little girl, who he doesn’t know is his child. But as the threats grow, can he keep them safe long enough to identify and catch the culprit—before this enemy sets his sights on their daughter?

AMONG THE INNOCENT (Set in summer)

When Leah Miller's entire Amish family was murdered ten years ago, the person believed responsible took his own life. Since then, Leah left the Amish and joined the police force. Now, after another Amish woman is found murdered with the same MO, it becomes clear that the wrong man may have been blamed for her family's deaths.

As Leah and the new police chief, Dalton Cooper, work long hours struggling to fit the pieces together in order to catch the killer, they can't help but grow closer. When secrets from both of their pasts begin to surface, an unexpected connection between them is revealed. But this is only the beginning. Could it be that the former police chief framed an innocent man to keep the biggest secret of all buried? And what will it mean for Leah--and Dalton--when the full truth comes to light?

GRAVE PERIL (Set in fall)

To exonerate her father, a young woman must first run for her life in this inspirational romantic thriller set in the Kentucky mountains.
When her father was convicted of murdering his best friend, Jamie Hendricks knew he was innocent. Even after he died in prison, she remains committed to clearing his name. And now her uncle claims to have finally found the proof she needs. But when she arrives in her Appalachian hometown, her uncle has vanished—and someone wants her dead.
Now Jamie's ex-boyfriend, CIA agent Gavin Dalton, is the only person she can trusts . . . even if he believes her dad killed his father. But as they begin to uncover a deadly conspiracy that goes deeper than anyone expected, they will need to come together and find the faith and courage to survive.


SHATTERED AMISH IDENTITY (Set in winter)

The key to her survival lies hidden within her memories.

When Amish school teacher Hannah York is attacked, she defends herself with skills she never knew she had. CIA agent Titus Miller arrives, claiming that she’s actually fellow agent Lara Redmond—and that she’s in danger from a powerful enemy. Despite suffering from amnesia, Hannah is certain she’s only ever lived a quiet Amish life. But why does Titus seem so familiar, and could it be true that he loved her once? When Hannah’s family is abducted, she and Titus must work together to find them. Can Hannah trust him to help unlock the truth of her past…and keep her safe?

On Friday, author A.D. Lawrence will tell us about irrational fears she’s given herself by reading suspense novels. She’s also giving away a copy of her book, THE PURPLE NIGHTGOWN.

Step into True Colors -- a series of Historical Stories of Romance and True American Crime

Stella’s chauffer and long-time friend, Henry Clayton, is reluctant to leave her at the spa. Something doesn’t feel right to him, still Stella submits herself into Linda Hazzard’s care. Stella soon learns the spa has a dark side and Linda a mean streak. But when Stella has had enough, all ways to leave are suddenly blocked.

My Top 3 Read of the Summer

 I've been reading a lot this summer, and here are my top three reads so far. 

3.) Ribbons of Guilt by Laura Thomas

This book had so many unique qualities, but my favorite was the addition of ballet. I don't think I've seen ballet play such a big role in a suspense novel, and Laura Thomas wrote it in beautifully. It felt fresh and different, and I'm excited to read more by this author. Here is a link to Ribbons of Guilt if you want to check it out!

2.) Dark Design by Nancy Mehl

Since I finished reading Shattered Sanctuary, I've been looking forward to the second book in the series. It did not disappoint. The intensity and the twist at the end kept me turning pages. When I came to the end, I wanted more. Thankfully, book three will be releasing soon. Follow the link for more info!

1.) Twilight Tactics by Lynette Eason

I finished this book last week, and I couldn't put it down. The setting and characters were well-written. The suspense made me hold my breath. And the message of the story will stick with me for a while. You won't want to miss this book! It releases on August 4th. Follow the link to learn more. 

What books have you read this summer that made the top of your list?
