Calculated Risk. Heather Woodhaven

      

      CLANDESTINE COVER-UP

      Accountant Victoria Hayes never would have thought discovering fraud in her office would put her life at risk. When her house catches fire, destroying the evidence she’s collected, it seems the mastermind will do anything to keep Victoria from disclosing what she knows. Unsure what to do, she turns to her charming supervisor for help. But without much evidence, Jeff Tucker is reluctant to believe Victoria…until they both become suspects. Now they must work together to prove their innocence…and stay alive. With an unpredictable—and deadly—criminal after them, each step could be their last.

      “You believe me,” Victoria said with relief.

      “I believe something is going on,” Jeff corrected. “I just don’t really understand what yet.”

      She grabbed the stair railing and followed after him. “Where will we go? Your car is destroyed—”

      Jeff frowned but didn’t slow down. Surely an idea would come to him by the first floor. He pushed his legs to go faster. Adrenaline always helped clear his mind.

      He was so focused on the anger from his car being blown up that he wasn’t being considerate of Victoria. “I know where we’re going. Follow me.” Once they reached the bottom stair, he turned to her. “You sure you’re okay?”

      “I’m not going to let anything slow me down with that creep trying to find us. Where to?”

      His hands hovered over the exit sign on the door. “Stay close to me, okay?”

      Victoria tapped his shoulder. “Jeff. Security cameras.”

      “Then let’s hope our security breach friend isn’t watching right now.”

      —2 Timothy 1:7

      For my parents who developed my love of adventure and storytelling. For my husband who refused to let me give up on my dream and continues to read everything I write. For my children who cheer me on. And to the many other friends and family members who continue to encourage me.

      Thank you.
