Wrongfully Accused
A Callahan Confidential story
When fire investigator Mitch Callahan is attacked at a crime scene, he’s shocked to uncover the body of a slain ex-girlfriend—and realize someone’s framing him for murder. Widowed ER nurse Dana Petrie believes Mitch is innocent, and not just because he makes her feel alive again after tragedy marred her past. But is she willing to risk everything only to love and lose again?

A man with a dark baseball hat pulled low over his eyes roughly entered the hospital room, brushing past Dana with such force he knocked her off balance.
Before she knew exactly what was happening, the man rushed toward Mitch. Her eyes widened in horror when she caught a glimpse of silver near his hand.
Was that a knife?
Mitch reacted instinctively, grabbing the metal tray beside him and bringing it up to block the knife in the nick of time. The tip of the blade deflected harmlessly off the metal surface, making the man stumble.
Mitch used the tray as a weapon, bringing it down hard on the guy’s head with a loud thunk. The man went down, sprawling inelegantly across the foot of the gurney. Mitch moved swiftly toward Dana, latching on to her arm.
“I need the closest way out of here,” he said in a low, harsh voice.
“This way.” She ducked out of the room, directing Mitch to the stairwell located just a few feet from his room.
“Who was that man?” she asked. “I don’t understand what’s going on.”
“Frankly, I don’t, either. But I have a bad feeling I’m being set up.”
“Set up for what, exactly?” she asked.
Mitch was silent for a long moment, before he finally spoke. “Murder.”
Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
—Psalms 5:1–2
Primary Suspect is the fifth book in my Callahan Confidential series. I’m happy to hear so many of you are enjoying this incredible family. This book focuses on Fire Investigator Mitch Callahan.
When Mitch is assaulted and framed for murder, he isn’t sure who he can trust. And he regrets how ER nurse Dana Petrie is unavoidably dragged into the situation with him. Dana hasn’t recovered from losing her husband and unborn child three years ago, until she’s forced to go on the run with Mitch. As they flee the men chasing them, Dana feels alive for the first time in years. Can she and Mitch recover from their wounded pasts long enough to look forward to the future?
I hope you enjoy Mitch and Dana’s story.
