Washed By The Water - Leigh Jones

. .

Résumé :
With a hurricane menacing in the gulf, reporter Kate Bennett and Detective Peter Johnson find themselves caught in a life-or-death struggle against an escaped prisoner hell-bent on revenge. Tommy Gage murdered his parents on Kate's first day at the Galveston Gazette. Her reporting on the crime thwarted the teen's escape, giving Peter a chance to arrest him. When he breaks out of jail on the eve of his trial, they're convinced he has bigger plans than making a clean getaway. Kate is determined to stay and cover the storm, no matter the risk. But as the hurricane looms and Gage circles ever closer, Kate's biggest battle rages in her own heart. After a year of keeping Peter at arm's length, she knows it's time to tear down the wall she's kept between them. But she's never taken a leap of faith, and this one feels more like jumping off a cliff. Peter's only goal is to keep Kate safe, even if he has to sacrifice everything to do it. As the island trembles in anticipation of the hurricane's wrath, Kate and Peter must confront their deepest fears and the darkness that surrounds them. Washed By The Water is a gritty tale of heart-pounding Christian suspense that dives into the struggle between wavering faith and the enduring hope that lies in surrender.
