Is the bounty hunter’s target really an innocent woman?
Convinced her sheriff brother-in-law murdered her sister, Jamie Carter hides her six-year-old niece away until she can prove his crimes. Bounty hunter Zack Owen is bound by the law to turn her in, but Jamie’s story sways him to protect her instead. On the run together, Zack must face the personal price of falling for his fugitive.

Two uniformed men with weapons rushed toward Jamie and Zack.
“Hey, that woman’s wanted!” the store clerk hollered.
Jamie turned back to the building. “How does she know who I am?”
“She must’ve seen your picture somewhere.” Out of the corner of his eye, Zack caught sight of the men approaching the door out of the mail center.
“My picture? What about yours?”
“You’re the fugitive.”
Right. Her case. His job. Somewhere along the lines he’d shifted further into caring for the victim. Woman. Criminal.
“Stop right there!” One mall cop stayed with the clerk and spoke into his radio.
The other closed the distance between them at an alarming rate. “We said wait.” The guy grabbed Jamie’s injured arm.
“Ow!” She doubled over.
Zack’s gut clenched with her cry. “Let her go.” He slammed a jab into the other man’s jaw, then another punch to his stomach. While the man stumbled back a few steps, the other guard charged through the doorway.
Zack grabbed Jamie’s hand. “Come on!”
In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
—Psalms 56:11
First of all, thank you for taking a chance on Zack, Jamie and me. I’m thrilled to have the chance to share their story with you.
In Fugitive Pursuit, Zack’s faith never wavers. When in doubt, he prays and asks for God’s guidance. I wish I could be that strong every day. However, in my life I’ve often been more like Jamie. I, too, lost my way after a death in the family. I grew angry with God for not taking away my pain and I eventually abandoned my church. Writing this book became my path back to God. In helping Jamie heal, I learned that even in the most challenging times, God still walks with us.
I’d love to hear your thoughts about Zack and Jamie’s journey. Feel free to contact me through my website or follow me on Twitter at @writercsinclair. Okay, I’m heading back into my writing cave to work on my next book.
Take care,
Christa Sinclair
