This is book 2 of the Desert Justice Series a Love Inspired Suspense Inspirational Romance read. This book takes you on the journey with Mara and how she is looking for her sister that was pronounced dead 5 years ago. Mara received a one word text that only she knows could be from her sister, leading her to believe her sister is alive and somewhere. She starts to look for her sister and finds herself in danger and having to live at the ranch with her friend Levi. She doesn't plan this but due to circumstances out of her control (don't want to be a spoiler). Is her sister alive? Is Mara in danger? How does all the characters and situations come together?
Want a quick fast paced, suspense packed and twists and turn plot, then read this one. This is book 2 of the series, but can be read as a stand alone. Reading book 1 gives alot of the background and personality of some characters in this book. Book 1 covers alot of the background of the ranch and family togetherness. Good addition to the series. If you like book 1 then you will really like book 2.

More from Dana
Hello, readers! Boy am I excited! Since the virus-that-not-shall-be-named is being brought under control, I am cautiously venturing out again and our first vacation spot will be a return to Death Valley. Papa Bear and I love the amazing diversity of Death Valley, from the salt flats, to the sand dunes, mountains, and everything in between. Writing this book allowed me to relive the incredible topography, as well as let my mind run loose imagining a cold case that warms up to fiery levels in this ferocious climate. Part of this story revolves around “Camp Town Days” which was inspired by the Encampment Days, an event held in November by a volunteer group called the Death Valley 49ers that aims to capture the pioneer spirit with their wagon rides, parade, poetry readings, a vendor show, and historical talks. I hope you can feel the desert wind in your face and hear the distant howl of the coyote as you dive into the second book in the Death Valley Justice series.
