WHAT'S HOT in Christian Mystery and Suspense

Marji Laine here. 

This collection was brought to my attention because the second part of the collection includes our own Suspense Sister Kristen Hogrefe Parnell! I'll be sharing that next week, when it releases, but for this week, here is the first part of this thrilling Christmas suspense collection! 


Christmas Under Fire:
A Christian Romantic Suspense Collection

By Dana R. Lynn, Jenna Brandt, Jessica Ashley   


Stolen Silence – Dana R. Lynn
Jenna Stone has spent her life believing she was adopted—until private investigator Brody Carson arrives with a stunning truth: she was kidnapped as a child. Hired to find her by the family who never stopped searching, Brody is determined to uncover the truth before Jenna vanishes again. But someone has spent years keeping her identity buried . . . and will kill to protect the lie. Haunted by the loss of his own little sister, Brody sees this case as a last chance at redemption. As danger closes in, Jenna must decide if trusting him will save her life—or cost them both everything.

A Hope for the Heroic Firefighter – Jenna Brandt
Brandon Holloway just got his dream job—fire chief of his small hometown. He’s barely settling into his new routine when a huge arson case falls into his lap, one so complicated he’s forced to call in the county for assistance. What he doesn’t expect is to find himself interested in the arson investigator sent to help him.

Desiree Garcia fought her way into the arson division after years of being iced out. Now that she finally has the chance to prove herself, she’s not willing to let anything stop her from solving her first big case, not even the handsome fire chief at the epicenter.

Will Brandon give into his growing attraction? Will Desiree let down her guard for a chance at love? And what happens when the danger surrounding the case threatens both their lives?

Proof of Life – Jessica Ashley
Maverick built his life on quiet control. He doesn’t even touch the alcohol he serves, but the bar he inherited from his grandfather is his sanctuary, far from the man he used to be.
Until she walks in.

Haunted and on the run, she’s everything he should turn away. Instead, he gives her a place where no one will touch her.
The closer they get, the more the lines he swore he’d never cross start to blur.

And when her past catches up, Maverick will have to decide just how far he’s willing to go to keep her alive.
