Book Description HTML

Your worst enemy is closer than you think. Fidelia is a happily married woman, and her life is perfect… but her life is about to turn into a gruesome nightmare, for her only child is missing from school. In the ensuing quest for the girl, she will realize that the ideal life she had been living was nothing more than a smoke screen. There is far more at stake here than just her missing daughter. She will have to battle to save, not only her daughter, but also herself, from the greatest evil they have ever encountered. She will also learn the true meaning of Evil, and that her worst enemy is closer than she ever thought possible; has been closer than she could have ever imagined…and this enemy had been waiting for the right time to strike against her. This ordeal will become the ultimate

‘Just getting the lay of the land,’ he said mildly. ‘You’d armed yourself with a gun when the sheriff arrived.’

She blinked, startled at the topic change and now back on her guard. ‘Yes.’

‘Why?’

She blinked again, this time in disbelief. ‘Why? Seriously? Maybe because I was alone, my Jeep wrecked, stranded on a deserted road with an unconscious victim of a violent assault? That girl was left there by someone, Agent Novak. If that someone had stuck around, I wasn’t going to give him the opportunity to hurt her again. Or me.’

‘That’s sensible, of course. But why did you have a gun to begin with, Miss Corcoran?’

So I can shoot my sonofabitch stalker if he manages to track me here,
she thought, but had the presence of mind not to say it aloud. If she ever did shoot the sonofabitch stalker, she didn’t want anyone claiming she’d done so with premeditation
.
‘A lot of women carry weapons.’

‘True enough. But most of the civilian women I know carry them in their purse. You left your purse in your car, yet you had your gun handy.’

That he’d noticed shouldn’t have rattled her, but it did. ‘I don’t carry it in my purse.’

‘In a shoulder holster, then?’

‘No.’

He narrowed his eyes, clearly frustrated. ‘You’re going to make me work for this, aren’t you? Fine. Why did you have your gun so handy, Miss Corcoran? Did you bring it from your Jeep on purpose, expecting to need it? Did you perhaps see more than you’re admitting?’

It was her turn to blink in surprise.
Holy hell. He thinks I’m lying.
Which she was not. She had simply withheld personal information that he did not need to know. There was a difference.

‘No,’ she said firmly. ‘I did not expect to need my gun. It was in my coat pocket, if you must know. I didn’t see anyone except the girl, just like I told you. I’m not lying.’

He stared at her. ‘You carry a gun in your coat pocket? Why in God’s name would you do something so dangerous?’

She glared back, irritated. ‘I’m not stupid, Agent Novak. I don’t carry it in my pocket unprotected. I have a pocket holster.’

‘Why?’ he asked again, his urgency mounting.

She feigned nonchalance, hoping to ratchet his intensity down a bit. He was making her nervous again. ‘Because shoulder holsters chafe.’

Abruptly he rose from his crouch, simultaneously leaning into her space until they were eye to eye, their noses nearly touching. ‘Why do you carry a gun in your pocket, Faith?’ he demanded, his voice rich with an authority that crushed her defenses as if they’d never been.

‘So I can get to it when I need it,’ she blurted out, then clamped her lips together.
Goddammit
. She hadn’t meant to say that.

He was really good, she had to give him that. He’d known how to push her buttons. For a minute there she was a teenager, cowering in the confessional while her grandmother’s priest thundered at her from the other side.

Novak had immediately stilled at her answer. ‘But
why
do you need it?’ he asked quietly.

None of your damn business
was on the tip of Faith’s tongue, but she was saved from having to respond by the approach of the agent who’d been talking with Novak earlier. The angry one.

‘Agent Novak, I need to talk to you.
Now
.’

‘Excuse me, Miss Corcoran,’ Novak said. He and the angry agent stepped several feet away, speaking too quietly for her to overhear and turning so that she couldn’t see their faces.

Faith closed her eyes. This evening was shot to hell. By the time she made it through the ER, it would be time to sleep. There would be no going into the house for her tonight either.

Oh no.
She grimaced.
The locksmith
. He had to still be at the house. He would have come back this way if he’d gotten tired of waiting, and no other vehicles had approached from the direction of the house since she’d hit the tree.

She was frankly surprised that he had waited so long. Maybe he’d never shown up. Or maybe he had and was charging her by the hour
. Wouldn’t that just be my luck?

She patted her pockets, looking for her phone so that she could call him, then remembered it had been in her coat pocket.
That’s just perfect.
The sheriff had bagged her coat since it had touched the girl, so they now had her cell phone too.

Novak and the angry agent parted ways, the other man heading toward the sedan parked behind the CSU van. Novak returned to the ambulance, knocking on the driver’s window.

‘Jefferies, I need to leave for a few minutes. Can you please take care of Miss Corcoran’s hands while I’m gone?’ Without waiting for a reply, he took off at a jog for the sedan and jumped in the passenger seat before Faith could ask about her phone.

The sedan squeezed past the ambulance and disappeared from view, headed in the direction of the house. The other agent must have found evidence on the animals who’d dumped the girl.

Perspective
, she thought. Her locksmith troubles were nothing in comparison. If the locksmith had actually shown up, he’d eventually grow tired of waiting and come back this way. Until then, all she could do was stay here until Novak released her from the scene.

‘You ready, Miss Corcoran?’ Jefferies asked.

Faith held out her hands with a sigh. ‘As I’ll ever be.’

Mt Carmel, Ohio, Monday 3 November, 6.40
P.M.

Deacon successfully fought the urge to look over his shoulder. He knew that Faith Corcoran was in good hands with the EMT. But he was still reluctant to leave her alone.

Which was ridiculous. She was surrounded by armed cops. She was not in danger, nor was she helpless. She’d climbed a rocky hillside to save a girl she didn’t know and had stood watch over that girl, gun in hand.

A gun she carried because she was frightened of
