A woman in danger seeks refuge in the mountains in this exciting suspense from USA TODAY bestselling author Christy Barritt. After being caught collecting evidence on her ex-boyfriend's criminal dealings, Tessa Jones has no choice but to go into hiding. She feels safe in her mountain refuge, right up until private investigator Trent McCabe comes knocking--and bullets start flying their way. Now for the second time, Tessa is on the run. And Trent's mission has shifted from tracking down a missing person to keeping the brave beauty alive. Trent once lost a woman in his care, and he won't make the same mistake again. But Tessa trusts no one--not even Trent. Out in the wilderness with danger closing in, Tessa must make a choice: rely on the handsome stranger...or take her chances with a killer. From Love Inspired Suspense: Courage. Danger. Faith.
I enjoy reading suspense, and I enjoy all of Christy Barritt's books, including Mountain Hideaway. I engaged quickly and stayed up reading way too late, wondering what was going to happen next. Tessa is running from her ex-boyfriend and his long reach, as he has many powerful connections and no conscience. She doesn't know who she can trust, so she pretty much doesn't trust anyone. When she just begins to settle down and feel safe, Trent McCabe finds her in her mountain hideaway. Is he a friend, sent to find her by her family as he claims, or is he just one more person helping Leo to find her? There are plenty of twists and turns and chase scenes, enough to keep you wondering what will happen next.
