SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS SAFE
Mackenzie Winters spent years building a life in Witness Protection, but when someone shoots at her, she fears her cover has been blown. Could the brother of the drug lord she put away be here for revenge? Mackenzie must rely on her handler’s twin, world-weary Delta Force soldier Aaron Hanning, to protect her. Aaron doesn’t want to be anyone’s hero, but he can’t let this brave woman die. Now, with danger stalking them, they’ll have to make a daring choice that means life or death—for them both.
“In case someone is after you,” Aaron continued, “I can make sure you’re safe.”
“So you believe me?” Mackenzie asked.
“Does it matter? Someone may or may not be trying to harm you, and in the meantime I’m going to make sure they don’t succeed. The truth will come out in time.”
She said nothing.
Aaron looked at her. “Okay, here’s the deal. You do exactly as I say and you don’t ask questions. If something happens we’re not going to stop in order for me to explain it to you, we’re just going to run. That’s how you stay safe. Got it?”
Mackenzie nodded.
“Until the threat has passed, you stay where I know you are at all times.”
“Fine,” she said.
Aaron folded his arms, ignoring the screaming pain in his shoulder. She needed to understand. “Now tell me everything—who wants you dead, how you got in the witness protection program, all of it. I’m not messing around and I need to know it all if I’m going to have a chance of keeping you alive.”
LISA PHILLIPS
A British expat who grew up an hour outside of London, Lisa attended Calvary Chapel Bible College. There she met her husband, who’s from California, but nobody’s perfect. It wasn’t until her Bible College graduation that she figured out she was a writer (someone told her). Since then she’s taken the apprentice and journeyman writing courses with the Christian Writers Guild, and discovered a penchant for high-stakes stories of mayhem and disaster where you can find made-for-each-other love that always ends in happily ever after.
Lisa can be found in Idaho wearing either flip-flops or cowgirl boots, depending on the season. She leads worship with her husband at their local church. Together they have two children, a sparkly Little Princess and a Mini Daddy, and two bunny rabbits.
