Her past has come back to haunt her, and this jaded detective is her only hope. Twelve years ago, Wrenley Bennett witnessed the brutal murder of her best friend. In her grief, she turned to faith to bring her through, and from that tragedy, Hope’s Second Chance was born. Now the women’s and children’s shelter has become a sanctuary for abuse victims all over the country. Due to the evil he’s seen in the world, Detective Alaric Simmons has never been one for faith. But even he can’t deny the inexplicable pull he feels toward Wrenley Bennett, or the fact that he happens to be in the right place at the exact time someone tries to kidnap her. As the danger escalates and Wrenley’s life once again hangs in the balance, this cynical cop finds himself grasping at his faith and praying that God will lead him to the answers he needs…before it’s too late. *Note: This short novel was originally included in the Silent Night anthology. It is now available as a standalone eBook, audiobook, and paperback!

Jessica is an Army veteran who lives in Texas with the love of her life and their three children. After spending nearly a decade writing spicy paranormal and fantasy romance as a USA Today bestselling author, she felt the desire to do something completely different. She will still tell heartbreakingly beautiful stories with strong women and protective men, but this time they will also feature the joy of faith, and the importance of following God in whatever journey He sets you on.
