BABY IN JEOPARDY
Tasked with figuring out who left a baby girl at the Houston FBI office, Special Agent Tanner Wilson has only one hint—his ex-girlfriend’s name written on a scrap of paper. But child psychologist Macy Mills doesn’t recognize little Addie, and someone’s dead set on abducting her...even if it costs Tanner’s and Macy’s lives. And with Addie and Macy as targets, Tanner’s new mission is to protect them both—at the risk of his own life and heart. Macy will do anything to help him find who’s after Addie, and make amends for her past mistakes. But for their reunion to become a second chance at love, they must find a way to survive the danger threatening to tear them apart.

Moisture tried to rush to her eyes, but she held it back. This fight wasn’t over. Not yet.
“Did you say no?”
Macy pulled Addie closer. “Stay away from her.”
The man’s eyes narrowed. “You don’t know what you’re getting into, lady.”
“You’re a monster.”
“I’ll show you a monster if you don’t hand over the girl.”
“No,” Macy repeated.
“Have it your way.” He raised his gun toward Macy...

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.
—Ecclesiastes 3:1–4
