SEEKING REFUGE
When her friend is murdered, journalist Mallory Myers knows the killer is coming for her next. The problem is no one believes her—in fact, she’s considered a suspect. Her news anchor ex-boyfriend has everyone fooled, but Mallory knows what he’s capable of. With no one to trust, she flees to her hometown, where she finds refuge and help from an unexpected source. Fire chief Logan McDaniel is the only one in town willing to believe Mallory. As the murderer toys with her, setting fires and terrorizing her, Logan and Mallory become closer. He vows to protect her and find a way to break the killer’s airtight alibi if it’s the last thing he does.
“Did you check out the window to see who was at the door before you let me in?” Logan asked as he came into the house, pausing to secure the dead bolt again.
“No, I didn’t think of that,” she admitted.
“Well, you probably should,” he said in a somber tone.
“Meaning?”
“Meaning that fire was definitely arson. And to be set that close to a house is different from the other arson fires I’ve investigated recently. Plus, the incendiary device was different, too.” He studied her closely. “I think you’re right to be concerned for your safety, Mallory.”
Strangely enough, she didn’t feel nearly as worried as she’d felt last night. Maybe it was the bright warm sunshine streaming into the house, or the fact she’d gotten some good sleep…or more likely it was Logan. Seeing him standing there in front of her, tall and strong and handsome, and being so protective of her…it was just what she needed.

Be gracious to me, O God…
For my soul takes refuge in You;
And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge
Until destruction passes by.
