Blood Red Deceit (Paperback)

After Olympic sharpshooter Angel Meade is shot at a competition in Beijing, her fiancé, forensic expert Ridge Warner, donates blood to save her life. Then, a mysterious DNA report throws their relationship into chaos. Angel becomes distant, secretive. Ridge knows she’s hiding something, but has no inkling of what it could be.  Back in the mountain town of Woodland Park, Colorado, Ridge tries to settle in—but peace doesn’t last. A pastor is found murdered inside his church in a shocking and disturbing scene. Ridge is asked to help with the investigation, and within hours, he’s nearly killed by a hidden explosive. All signs point to something darker happening beneath the surface of this small mountain town. People are lying. People are dying. And Ridge finds himself at the center of it all. As the story unfolds, trust becomes a fragile thing. Relationships are tested. Loyalties shift. The deeper Ridge digs, the more tangled the truth becomes. Beneath the surface of this quiet town, something dark is pushing forward, and Ridge must confront the possibility that the truth may come at a cost he’s not ready to pay.
