Shattered Secrets. Jane M. Choate

Чтение книги онлайн.

      “You might be able to hide your feelings from others, but not from me,” Sal said.

      He looked at Olivia and added, “Your expression gives you away every time.”

      When she started to put her hands to her cheeks, he stopped her. “Don’t try to hide. Not from me.”

      Deliberately, Olivia backed away from him and the touch that could still turn her inside out.

      She knew she was putting off the inevitable, and she hated the fact that she felt cowardly for doing so. She’d never been one to shirk from her responsibility, but now...now she didn’t know where her duty lay.

      Sal took her hand and squeezed it. “Right now, we’re operating in the dark. We don’t know who’s doing this. We don’t know what they want. We need something, anything, to give us a handle on this.”

      “Okay,” she said reluctantly.

      “You’re doing the right thing.”

      Was she? She didn’t know.

      Olivia looked up at Sal, not surprised to find his eyes flat and dark. He was all Delta at the moment.

      Good. She had a feeling she was going to need his special set of skills and training.

      Dear Reader,

      I hope you have enjoyed Sal and Olivia’s story.

      When I started this series several years ago, I wasn’t certain I could tell Sal’s story as he wanted it told. He is a strong man with a gentle side, as the best men are. But I didn’t understand him until I realized that he was struggling to forgive himself. And then I knew I could write about him, because I struggle to forgive myself as well. Olivia helped Sal remember that the Lord is always on his side, always ready to forgive him.

      Sal and Olivia didn’t have an easy time of it. Their love path was punctuated with embezzlers and killers. Most of us won’t have to deal with that kind of conflict, but we, like Olivia and Sal, have to work at keeping our love alive and strong. With the Lord’s help, we can find our own happy endings.

      With love in the Lord,

      Jane

      JANE M. CHOATE dreamed of writing from the time she was a small child when she entertained friends with outlandish stories complete with happily-ever-after endings. Writing for Love Inspired Suspense is a dream come true. Jane is the proud mother of five children, grandmother to seven grandchildren and the staff to one cat who believes she is of royal descent.
