High Stakes (Eason)

Tragedy strikes Palmetto Deaf School-twice. With one student murdered and another missing, it's up to homicide detective Catelyn Clark to find the killer-and probable kidnapper-fast. She'll even work with her ex-boyfriend, FBI agent Joseph Santino, to solve the case . . . while keeping her distance. Relationships between cops never work; her parents taught her that. They also taught her that the only one she can rely on is herself. But when the killer starts targeting Catelyn, it's only by opening her heart to faith-and love-that she can finally bring the silent fury to an end.

She'd been told her fiancé died in a military training accident, but Gina Santino's gut told her otherwise. Still, she never imagined his killers would come after her. Now she is dodging bullets and running for her own life, not sure who to trust. Her fiancé had left specific instructions for her to contact fellow U.S. Army Ranger Ian Masterson should anything happen to him. But how could she trust a man who abandoned his team years ago? With no other choice, Gina must place her life in his hands in order to stay alive long enough to find the truth.
