Such reckless driving, especially in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, seemed ominous. The identity of her rescuer confirmed Bella’s fears. Years before, Daniel Champlain had been her lover, but the relationship was one she strove to forget. The NSA agent’s rugged good looks still haunted her—as did his betrayal. BUT NOT HER LIFE She’d watched him destroy her father; now Daniel demanded Bella listen. She was in danger. He wanted to know about her new creation, about its implications for national security. What she’d designed was worth killing for; but was a master criminal truly after her—or was Daniel again pursuing his ambition, thoughtlessly flipping her life upside down? The peril was real, no game like the jigsaw puzzles she made in her spare time. And this puzzle had missing pieces: the ones that showed whom she could trust. RR@H's Novel Thoughts
