Someone wants reporter Madelyn Sawyer to leave the small costal town she has just arrived in--even if it takes hurting her. But she won't give up her goal of investigating Waterman's Beach's new police chief that easily. Madelyn assumes that former big-city detective Zach Davis--who some believe is a murderer involved in a drug-trafficking ring--is behind the threat. Who else would have a motive? But as bullets fly Madelyn's way, it is Zach who keeps saving her life. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she wants to tell the handsome lawman why she is relly in town. But if she does, will she lose his trust and any hope of surviving long enough to bring the real killer to light?

Loved this fast-paced mystery-thriller and the characters in it. Other than the two MCs, the side characters came off a bit flat and the mystery wasn't super clue based, so it was more focused on the thrills of Madelyn trying to stay alive than anything, and there were a couple moments of “stupid character!” that made me just want to slap Madelyn. (She was super easily manipulated.) I liked all the Christian mentions but at the same time it felt like her spiritual redirect was really sudden.
