Lone Witness

3.5 Stars Tessa Carlson happens to be in the right place at the right time. There have been a series of very young girls taken from their homes and later found wandering in isolated places after having been drugged. Almost by accident she prevents the kidnapping of yet another young girl. This girl is the child of FBI Special Agent Henry Miller .. and he's extremely grateful to Tessa. Having lost his wife several years earlier, he cannot fathom the pain of losing a child. Tessa is keeping secrets .... she's actually been in hiding for 3 years ... hiding from a violent abusive boyfriend. And her name is not Tessa. She's happy that she saved a child ... but absolutely wants nothing to do with the media. What if her picture goes out and her ex should see it? Henry knows she's hiding something, and until she wants to confide in him, all he can do is protect her as she is the lone witness to the attempted kidnapping. This is a short, easy to read Christian Mystery/Romantic Suspense. There's lot of action .. several suspects to watch especially when Tessa starts receiving threatening notes. Many thanks to the author / Harlequin Romance / Netgalley for the digital copy of LONE WITNESS. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

This is part of the FBI: Special Crimes Unit series, however I feel it is a stand alone book. If you like FBI type suspenseful mysterious books with romance you will like this one. Tessa Carlson is just trying to keep to herself and stay safe and out of trouble. When she steps in to help a little girl she can not imagine all the trouble it will place her in. Special Agent Henry Miller can not believe his daughter has been put in danger. When Tessa seems to continue to be in trouble, he knows she is hiding something.
