Little girl lost
Ruby Hudson finds new evidence that could shed light on her childhood friend’s disappearance. But she’ll have to fight for her life to keep it out of the wrong person’s hands. Cooper Stokes’ brother is still the prime suspect, and as the cold case heats up, so do Ruby’s forgotten feelings for Cooper. Ruby wants justice for her friend. Cooper wants to prove his brother’s innocence. Despite being on opposite sides, they find themselves drawn to one another. But the deeper they dig into decades-old secrets, the closer they come to having to make a choice between family and love.
Wings of Danger: The path to love is treacherous
Fear rippled through her.
Her attacker was still at large somewhere, but Ruby did not think he would brave the sanctuary property, and definitely not with the police on the lookout.
Anxiety lingered in her veins, but she forced herself into action anyway. Her whole life had been steeped in fear that shadowed her every moment since her friend’s disappearance, and she was sick of it. Finally, there was a chance to shed some light on that darkness, and she would not let the precious moment pass.
She had almost reached the tree when she heard footsteps running through the underbrush, moving fast, coming close. She slipped behind a screen of bushes, heart thudding. Her two brushes with death replayed in her mind. She felt the knife slicing into her flesh and felt the hot breath against her throat. The thoughts ratcheted her pulse even faster.
Stay hidden, she told herself. You’re safe.
Not in these woods, her mind taunted.
Not anywhere.

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
—Matthew 10:29–31
To my two little birds poised at the edge of the nest.
