HER NEW LIFE
Morgan Smith had to give up her name, her calling and her past when she entered the witness protection program. Now a caretaker of horses on an Iowa farm, she spends her days in the stables and helping kids learn to ride. But danger has followed her. She longs to tell her handsome boss, Alex Reardon, everything—about the troubled adoption agency she worked for, a missing infant and the attempt on her life. But sharing her past with Alex could put him in grave danger and lead a killer to their door.…
Witness Protection: Hiding in plain sight
Morgan was all alone out there.
After ten more minutes of riding on the horse, panic set in. She didn’t see any light or even any landmark that could guide her home. She thought about the fire and the man she’d seen earlier around her house. The darkness only fed her fear.
The horse stopped abruptly at the creek bed, pitching Morgan into the river. Morgan stood up, only to be knocked down by a torrent of water. A hand grabbed her arm and pulled her toward the shore. Fear sank in like the teeth of a lion.
“Leave me alone.” She hit the rider’s chest hard.
The rider released her. “Hey, hey.” The voice was Alex’s. He gripped her arms above the elbow.
She was soaked to the bone, but the strength of Alex’s touch and sound of his voice warmed her.
“You were really scared there,” he said.
More than anything she wished she could explain to him why she was so on edge.

A wave of terror washed over Morgan Smith when she heard the tapping at her window. She gripped the book she’d been reading a little tighter. Someone was outside the caretaker’s cottage. Had the man who had tried to kill her in Mexico found her in Iowa?
