A biologist and border agent team up to save lives—but now their own lives are at risk—in a novel by the national bestselling RITA and Carol Award finalist. When a mysterious toxin threatens lives and livelihoods near the border between the US and Canada, Dr. Tessa Cleary is called to trace the source. But when the no-nonsense doctor is forced to work with border patrol agent Jeff Steele, she finds the lone wolf’s dedication to his job—and country—chipping away at the walls around her heart. Just as Tessa and Jeff are about to uncover the toxin’s deadly source, armed thugs kidnap them in the forest. Now they must trust each other to survive before time runs out for everyone.

I grabbed book three in this series at a library sale for a dime, so when the big LIS sale came up, I downloaded this one just to get a start on the series. The synopsis really didn't grab me much, and the sample was okay, but because I didn't want to miss out on something, I decided to go ahead and risk it. Turns out, I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. It's something different, with a fish biologist and a very sudden escalation from dirty water to a drug lord's border compound.
The Christianity parts were worked in easily and gently, in a natural manner, as Tessa and Jeff grow in their trust in God during the chase after them. I did feel that their first kiss came a bit out of left field, but it didn't keep me from deciding to download book two as well.
