(2025)(The fourth book in the Long Hot Summer series)
A collection of stories by Sami A Abrams, Jerusha Agen, Sarah Hamaker and Kristen Hogrefe Parnell
Four suspenseful summer stories of love, faith and excitement!
Trapped - Jerusha Agen
Her lies keep her safe. Until the truth shows up. And it’s carrying a gun.
Kristen Grant will do anything to protect her adopted teen daughter from the dangers of their past, no matter how many secrets it requires.
His childhood friend may have a different name, but that doesn’t change the way he feels.
Security specialist Sean Kingston never expected to meet his childhood buddy in sleepy little Leben Falls. She’s changed, shrouded in mystery and secrets she doesn’t want to share.
Freedom has a price, and the enemy of Kristen’s past has come to collect. Will she have to pay with her life?
Mine - Sami A. Abrams
Haunted by an abusive past, Jennie Neilson''s quiet life shatters when a mistaken text message puts her daughter into the crosshairs of a child predator. Detective David Whitman, haunted by his fiancée’s death, uncovers a chilling connection to Jennie’s past. The feeling of being watched and a reminder of her ex-boyfriend, Jennie fears he’s returned for revenge. As the predator escalates, Zoey is kidnapped, forcing Jennie to make a decision that could get Zoey killed. Racing against time, David must face his fears to save them both, risking everything to stop a man intent on claiming Jennie—or destroying her.
Fatal Past - Sarah Hamaker
Dr. Eve Davenport has forged a life for herself far from the pain of her past. But when she foils the kidnapping attempt of Ethan Smith, she comes face-to-face with the boy’s father, Jefferson Smith—the high school sweetheart who broke her heart and left her with secrets she’s buried for nearly a decade. Jefferson can’t believe the woman who saved Ethan, his late twin brother’s son, is Eve—the girl he once loved and lost. But as the danger mounts, Jefferson and Eve must confront their tangled history and uncover who is behind the attacks targeting Ethan and Eve.
Beneath the Crushing Waves - Kristen Hogrefe Parnell
Jenni Battley never imagined moving back in with her parents. To survive single parenting, she returns to Rosemary Beach with her young daughter and takes a summer job at her former high school. Her husband''s death canceled last Christmas, and now, a student drug ring overshadows her school’s Christmas-in-July event. Her bitter heart doesn’t belong near any joy-filled celebration—especially not one at the epicenter of an investigation. Detective Shane Prescott and paramedic Logan Oswald graduated with Jenni, and both keep appearing at the most inopportune times. Can she trust them, or is there a wolf in sheep’s clothing?
