Fleeing from Danger (An East Tennessee Mystery Series, #2) / An East Tennessee Mystery Series (ePub)

God's hit list. Is it a tale of fiction or a harsh reality? Lily better figure it out before time runs out.

Lily Walsh's life was a constant battle against the wrath of God. The scent of burning embers still lingered in her memory from the night her father perished in their blazing home. The suffocating scent of hospital disinfectant reminded her of her mother's battle with cancer, a battle she ultimately lost. And the echoes of her brother's murder haunted her, a sound that pierced her soul like a knife.

God seemed to delight in taking away those she held dear, even if they didn't reciprocate her love. A dark secret emerged from her family's past, thrusting her into the crosshairs of a merciless hitman. In this dire situation, she had no choice but to rely on the expertise of a fellow doctor, Stephen Smith, as the enigmatic protector who always seemed to be by her side.

Lily vowed to never succumb to the charms of Stephen, no matter how captivating he was. The bitter truth that God snatched away anyone she loved prevented her from forming lasting connections. Yet, as they embarked on a perilous journey escaping for their lives, she wondered if she could trust Stephen without allowing her heart to fall for him.

Multiple attempts on their lives reminded them of their mortality. Stephen's unwavering presence provided a shield. But would it be enough to ensure her survival through the holiday season, or would this Christmas mark her last?
