HER ENEMY WILL STOP AT NOTHING FOR CONTROL…
SHE WILL RISK EVERYTHING FOR FREEDOM.
A horrific crime shatters Lisa Harper’s idyllic childhood. Her father is dead and her desperate mother, Annie, quickly marries Dutch Hauk, an abusive monster who soon reveals his hatred for Lisa. To protect her, Annie defies her ruthless husband and forfeits custody to a trusted friend. Enraged, Dutch vows to keep Annie and Lisa apart—and he does. Years later, though keenly aware of Dutch’s evil intent, Lisa and her mother seize a chance to be a family, safe in a home where love dwells. But they fail to fathom how far Dutch will go to keep his vow.
Determined to control his women, Dutch proves resourceful. His associates in crime are feared at the highest levels across the globe—and for Lisa they plan a fate worse than death. Yet she too has formidable connections, including former Special Operations Officer Mark Taylor. Burdened by his own traumatic past, Mark has loved Lisa from afar. Now, for Lisa and her mother to survive, Mark must risk his life—and even more difficult for him, he must trust God. All as one question haunts them: Can Mark and Lisa untangle these deadly ties before it’s too late?
Always on the edge, Vicki Hinze is not only aware of how to keep her readers in suspense, but she does it with such delectable ease that it is obviously a natural talent. A tremendous thriller mixed with romance and a strong Christian foundation, Deadly Ties captivates once again like its predecessor Forget Me Not. The latter hooked me into Hinze fandom and the sequel justifies that draw.
Well-rounded characters, especially that of Lisa Harper and Mark Taylor, colorize a beautiful plot line in Deadly Ties taking the reader on a journey through heartache while allowing the them to relate in tumultuous tones of tragedy and renewal. A story of forgiveness and the blessing of healing challenge the audience to their sincerest depths of faith.
