Tormented Past - An East Tennessee Mystery Series Book 1

By morning, Belle Newman’s life is in the cross hairs of a killer, only God knows if she’ll survive.

Belle has many reasons to doubt God’s presence. The biggest being the death of her husband, which left her a single mother by age twenty-three. After her daughter’s kidnapping, someone burns down her home. The perp shoots at Belle and rams her off the road. The accident causes her to lose her memory. Being held against her will, the perp gives her debilitating drugs, which cause her to lose her mobility. Constantly running for her life, she questions if God is repaying her for her wayward years. With time running out, she runs into the arms of the last person she ever expects to see, her high school crush, and the lead detective.

Paul Walkman pleads with God for a chance to seek Belle’s forgiveness, high school’s heartaches lingering in his mind. But he never expects it to be in the middle of dodging bullets and fighting against her obstinate ways. His job, protecting the victim, not falling in love with her older, more mature version. Now, he just has to remind himself of his mission. It’ll take God’s protection and their will to live to make it out of the cross hairs alive.
