Pride and Fall follows a traumatized woman trying to move on with her life and the police officer who thinks she's committed a crime. His investigation takes a turn neither expects, and she finds he may be her only chance at survival.
Fear unchecked cripples. Fear conquered liberates.
Faith Keller has suffered much in her life—the murder of her sister, the near-destruction and almost-ruin of her family, and a traumatic abduction. It’s no wonder she battles the effects of PTSD on a daily basis. The last thing she needs is to be the subject of an intense police investigation for the very crime her father was blamed for years earlier. Yet, despite her family’s staunchest efforts, she finds herself on the hot seat with a tenacious officer—one whose attention she actually relishes.
Carter Emerson takes his job seriously. It’s the only tribute he can make to honor his fallen brother, and he’s determined to do the title “police officer” justice. When he sets his sights on Faith Keller, he’s torn. His mentor tells him he’s got it all wrong, but the evidence doesn’t lie. The worst part? He doesn’t want her to be guilty. He just wants her.
A story of healing and growth, Pride and Fall ends the Keller trilogy with action, deception, and a revelation readers won’t see coming.
Excerpt
Each step brought her closer to the edge of panic, and she battled to maintain control. The crowd closed in, the noise deafened, the air thinned. The room spun, tilted, grew and shrank at the same time.
Control. She needed control.
As though through a long tunnel, she heard Kacee’s voice. “Hey, Jensen, Bella. Thanks for saving us seats. Austin, Miles, it’s been a while. Where’re Brett and Simone?”
Faith panted for air, but none came. Too many people. Anyone of them could so easily jam a gun into her back and abduct her. What if it happened again? What if this time her rescuers were too late to save her? What if no one came at all? Or what if instead of abduction, her attacker just pulled the trigger?
She leaned forward, ready to bolt to her feet, when someone whispered in her ear.
“Ssh.”
Frantic, she whipped her head around.
