New Releases That Caught My Eye

 

Catch Me If You Can  by Carole Brown (Christian Romance) 

The big cat sat on the oversized rock, ears pointed toward the sky, every muscle taut, every sense at the ready. “S-s-shut up and f-f-forget it! You’ve s-s-seen nothing and know nothing! I won’t warn you again. G-g-got it?”His head swiveled, his ears twitching as if catching the hint of threat in the whisper. A soft hiss slid from his open mouth and reinforced the overtone of evil pressing in upon the scene… Coaxed into finding the animal killer at Jamieson’s Outfitters, Tara Layne, with her sidekick, Boet, is welcomed by a threatening whisper and the unfriendly eyes of a gruff manager. Within hours, lies and dark secrets are slithering all over the campground. Intermingled with her search, Tara deals with her own buried secrets when a strange old Native American probes into the recesses of her heart forcing her to face her bitter feelings. And Wesley Clarke, manager/guide, both interesting and frustrating, holds an attraction for Tara that is primitive and exasperating.When Tara gets too close, she finds herself—and Boet—the target of someone who’s determined to keep from getting caught. His theme: Run as fast as you can, you can’t catch me.The question: Can Tara run fast enough to catch this real-life gingerbread boy before he decides to get rid of her and Boet?
