This week I'm featuring Recovered Secrets by Jessica R. Patch.
Two years ago, Grace Thackery washed up on a small-town Mississippi riverbank with no memory of who she was or how she got there. But now she has just discovered the first clue about her past: someone wants her dead. And while search-and-rescue director Hollis Montgomery is determined to protect her, the secrets of her mysterious life are darker than they expected. Can the bond between Grace and Hollis survive her true identity . . . and an assassin?
Book Beginnings / First Line Friday
Grace Thackery was living on a borrowed name; she'd lost every single memory prior to the past year and a half since she'd awakened from a six-month coma.
Friday 56
Hollis put a finger to his lips, then motioned with two fingers his intent to sneak up on whoever had kicked in the door and disable him.
