When Trevor Willis offers Dani Carpenter her dream job as director of a new camp for children, she is thrilled. Dani intends to keep Trevor, a family friend, at arm’s length. But her heart changes toward him as they team up to protect Ady, the young daughter of a kidnapped scientist.

After Trevor testifies against the son of Don Francisco Morales, a major supplier of heroin into the United States, Morales (aka the Scorpion) targets Trevor in a personal vendetta to destroy his reputation and then destroy everyone Trevor loves.

With Ady tucked away in a secure location, Dani and Trevor embark on a chase that takes them from the forests of the Pacific Northwest to the jungles of Mexico. They must stop the Scorpion before he strikes again.

I enjoyed reading this book and found it to have some twists and turns I did not expect, which kept is interesting. This was presented to me as an LDS book, but I found that it could be ready by anyone, even if they aren't religious, because the religion didn't play too much into the story. The story was certainly fast paced and I enjoyed bringing in the sweet little girl who kept things amusing and honest to a fault. I definitely would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a romance/adventure. It was a fun book and a quick read.

Katie Fisher is a
mom of four and wife to her high school sweetheart, Samuel. After a brief stint
as an office assistant in her younger years, she now pours her heart and soul
into her stories (and her family, of course). She loves to write romance,
sometimes with a dash of suspense, but always sweet.

Having grown up close to an Amish community in Pennsylvania,
she fell in love with the simple and fulfilling Amish lifestyle. She
expresses this love in her stories, which take place in Amish communities
and are always full of inspiration and hope. Favorite things include
happily-ever-afters, gingerbread cookies and long evenings on the porch.

Life in the
small Amish community of Orthause, Pennsylvania is predictable to Hannah Zook.
As the teacher of the one-classroom school, Hannah is happy with her life and
relationship with God.

The only
question she has concerns Eli Reimer, the Mennonite man who wishes to marry
her. Eli is the sort of man Hannah has always dreamed of marrying. But in order
to marry him, she must give up her faith and join his.

But when a
man is found murdered, Hannah ends up with much more than romance on her mind.
The victim’s wife Martha recently left him, and everybody knows why. Now she’s
the number one suspect. Hannah knows her friend is innocent and will do
everything to prove it.

She is
joined in her quest by her childhood friend, Abram, who quietly supports her
even when others tell her to mind her own business.

And as she
works to solve the murder, Hannah might just find the answers to her prayers
about her future–and he might have been under her nose the whole time.
