Renewed Faith

(CSA Case Files 3)

Is it possible to renew one’s faith in love?

Injury ended former Marine Kevin Dreier’s enlistment much too soon, leaving him with
unwanted pins and screws in his right leg to serve as a constant reminder of what
he’d lost. Being a team member of Crest Security Agency, however, gives him a sense
of purpose and accomplishment. The determination that makes him good at his job is
the same drive he’ll need to win over the woman he wants in his life.

Taking charge of her destiny, Elle Reyes has spent the last year working hard to make
something of herself. She’s found a reputable place to live, saved a little money,
and even secured a managing position at a club. She’s finally safe, content, and in
need of nothing more, but she knows she wouldn’t have been able to turn her life around
without Kevin’s assistance.

When Kevin loses a family member, Elle is convinced this is her chance of returning
a favor and repaying a debt. Accompanying him to visit his family and offer support,
she is faced with the reality that warm and loving homes are real. She’s torn between
what she knows to be the truth and the tempting hope that something more exists.

Upon their return, Kevin’s current case crosses paths with Elle’s past. Secrets and
lies encircle them as a killer ups the stakes in a cat and mouse game meant for only
one winner. When time runs out, Kevin intends to be the last man standing—in life
and love.
