Marked For Revenge. Valerie Hansen

      

      He had a price on his head—and no one to trust

      An Emergency Responders thriller

      EMT Kaitlin North can’t believe the shooting victim at an isolated Ozark cabin is the man who once saved her life. Now the only way she can keep undercover police officer Daniel Ryan alive is to help him elude the hitmen on his trail. With danger closing in, can Kaitlin and Ryan trust each other’s instincts...and take a chance on love?

      VALERIE HANSEN was thirty when she awoke to the presence of the Lord in her life and turned to Jesus. She now lives in a renovated farmhouse on the breathtakingly beautiful Ozark Plateau of Arkansas and is privileged to share her personal faith by telling the stories of her heart for Love Inspired. Life doesn’t get much better than that!

      “We can’t stay here long or they’ll figure out where we went.”

      Grasping the edge of the truck bed, Kaitlin straightened enough to peek over it. “So far, so good. Nobody followed us.”

      “What now?”

      “We steal a getaway car.”

      “What?” Daniel’s gaping jaw snapped shut when he heard her chuckle.

      “Relax.” Kaitlin grinned. “This is my truck. All I need is the keys and we can take off.”

      “Where are they?”

      “In my purse. In your room.”

      His shoulders slumped. “My room?”

      “Yes, but I know other ways in. Don’t try anything funny while I’m gone. I’ll be back in a jiffy.”

      Daniel grabbed her wrist to stop her. “Be careful.”

      “I will. Wait right there.”

      He watched her for as long as he could, then hunkered down in the chair. Kaitlin had to make it. She had to come back to him in one piece.

      Sighing, he closed his eyes and prayed for exactly that.

      Dear Reader,

      I come from a family filled with firefighters, EMTs, paramedics and nurses. My stint as an EMT was a short one but it taught me a lot about the rigors of that life. As Kaitlin and Daniel observed in this story, it takes a special kind of person to put themselves out for others, over and over again, with no expectation of reward or praise. They burn out. They struggle against unmerited guilt for failing to save every victim. They remember years later what a suffering child may have said to them in the midst of a terrible wreck and it haunts them.

      So the next time you see or hear an emergency vehicle, please stop and pray for the ones aboard and the people they are racing to help. And if you harbor any doubts about your prayerful connections
