      RACE AGAINST TIME

      The last thing Krista Curry expected to find in a soccer stadium was a time bomb. When she alerts explosives expert Cash Dixon, she becomes a local hero. But the attention could expose her real name—and the infamous past she fought to escape. Cash promises Krista protection from the bomber’s retaliation. Yet she hesitates to trust him as she sees his suspicion about her grow with every question she dodges. She can’t expect Cash to continue to safeguard her unless she tells him the truth. Now Cash must decide if she’s an innocent woman or guilty accomplice. But the clock is ticking down—and the real bomber is still on the loose…

      First Responders: Brave men and women alert and ready for danger and love.

      He looked like a warrior, ready to do battle.

      He downplayed the threat from the SUV he’d just chased off, his voice calm. But his body language said differently.

      “If it’s the intruder from last night, he’s more of a danger.”

      “How so?” Krista kept the mounting panic from her voice.

      “Takes someone without fear to return right after the police were called. He doesn’t care who gets in his way.”

      This guy was persistent. Breaking in. Attacking her. Perhaps killing her if Cash hadn’t arrived.

      Panic threatened again but she fought it. Cash was here. Strong, capable Cash. The man she’d been fighting every step of the way.

      “Thanks for being here.”

      “It’s what I do.”

      “You can’t possibly do this for everyone. So why me?”

      He shrugged, but held her gaze, and she felt a change in him. Not the spark of attraction that clearly existed between them. Something softer. Something that made her forget the bomber.

      “I can’t put my finger on it, but I know you need me.” His voice was low and husky.

      The word trustworthy came to mind. A man of honor. Could she really believe he was everything he seemed to be…even if he discovered who she really was?

      And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

      —Philippians 4:7

      For the many law enforcement bomb squads

      and military disposal technicians who risk their lives on a daily basis to rid our world of dangerous explosives. It takes a special person to do this job, and I hope I honor them in the way I have portrayed bomb tech Cash Dixon.
