      “I’m scared, Liam. I don’t know what’s going on, or what I’m supposed to do.”

      “Don’t worry, Gabby,” Liam said over the phone. “We’ll make sure you and Mia are safe.”

      Gabby glanced in the rearview mirror, thankful that Mia was finally sleeping. There was a black pickup behind her. Was that the same one she’d noticed earlier?

      “Gabby? Are you...there?”

      The call was breaking up.

      Gabby gave the car all the gas she could and flew back up the hill. All she had to do was get to the nearby sleepy tourist town and she would be fine.

      She glanced again in the rearview mirror. The black pickup was still there.

      “Liam...”

      “What’s...on...Gabby...”

      The car behind her smashed into her bumper. Mia woke up and started crying. Gabby fought to keep the car on the road...

      Dear Reader,

      Thank you so much for reading Liam and Gabby’s story! Not only did I love writing this novel, I loved the setting where this brand-new series is going to take place. My husband’s family is from Colorado, so we’ve spent a lot of time in that beautiful state. The idea of a family run ranch nestled beneath such impressive views is a place I’d love to spend a long, cozy winter!

      While you might never have to face some of the things Liam and Gabby did, I know there will be times in your life—maybe even right now—when things seem to spiral out of control and you find yourself desperately searching for strength and courage to face another day. My prayer for you today is that you will remember that you are not alone, and especially that you will seek to find your protection in Him.

      Watch for more page-turning suspense from Timber Falls and the O’Callaghan brothers!

      I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

      —Psalms 121:1–3

      To those longing for strength when hard times hit.

      May you find your protection in Him.
