      PRIME SUSPECT

      Mia Sandoval’s friend is murdered under mysterious circumstances—and the single mother is a suspect. Her only ally is a man she isn’t sure she can trust. Search and rescue worker Dallas Black has a past as harrowing as Mia’s own, and the police are suspicious of them both. With no choice but to work with secretive Dallas, Mia discovers he’s as complicated as the murder they’re forced to investigate to clear her name. Yet as a flood ravages their small Colorado town, a killer is determined that Mia, Dallas and their evidence get swept away to a watery grave.

      Stormswept: Finding true love in the midst of nature’s fury

      Hands shaking, Mia sprayed the water vigorously, but there was simply not enough flow to combat the hungry fire.

      She retreated to the front porch, skin stinging from the poisonous air.

      Dallas appeared at the upstairs window. He shouted something to Mia, but she could not understand. The fire was nearly upon her, heat scalded her face and hands, smoke filling her lungs. She backed farther away, praying the fire engine would arrive soon to douse the flames.

      Finally, Dallas came out carrying Cora and led her away from the burning house.

      Mia put her mouth to the woman’s cheek, praying for a reassuring puff of air. Panic swirled through her veins as she felt nothing at all. Starting CPR, she pressed her hands to Cora’s chest.

      “Come on, Cora,” she said. “You’re not going to leave me now.”

      Dallas dropped to his knees and performed the rescue breaths at the end of her compression cycles. After a full minute, Dallas checked her pulse.

      He shook his head.

      Tears trickled down Mia’s cheeks as she began the next cycle.
