Hail Mary: Award Winning Romantic Suspense

A broken lawman.  A wary heart.  And a killer hiding in plain sight.

Wynn Owens has no faith in the law—especially not the sharp-eyed new sheriff standing on her porch with a crazy theory about one of her elderly tenants and a local bank heist. Wynn has a dark history with authority and zero interest in helping a man who represents everything she despises.

Ex-DEA agent Beau Greystone isn’t particularly thrilled, either. Thanks to his meddling aunt, he’s now charged with safeguarding an entire town. Still reeling from the murder of his wife–and struggling to deal with a debilitating injury–Beau’s pretty sure he’s not up to the task. Injured, impatient, surly even on his best days, he isn’t exactly Mayberry material. But the people of Blossom Hills are counting on him, and bringing a bank robber to justice seems like a good place to start…until the killer who once haunted the town abruptly returns. 

Wynn is determined to clear her tenant’s name. Beau has a killer to catch. Neither expects the charged, unwelcome pull between them—or the twisted path that will upend everything they thought they knew. To survive the coming storm they will have to decide: adapt and evolve, or surrender to the past and the dark malevolence that has risen within it…

“My oh my what a book! I have never read a book by Hope Anika before and I have to say I was completely surprised by how excellent it was and how in-depth the storyline was…we were treated to two mysteries and the unrelenting suspense was engrossing, besides being very cleverly done. This book was a ten star read.... It had so much unexpected depths to it, and cunning twists and turns kept me riveted to see what was coming next, and I read it straight through without stopping!!”
