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?
""Vicki Hinze has...talent for transforming the unlikely into something beautiful.""

Review:

Praise for "Deadly Ties
"
""DeadlyTies" is Vicki Hinze at her absorbing best. Crisply written and fast-paced, "Deadly Ties" is a can't-put-down story of depth, faith, and twists and turns that would put anyone to the test."
--CARLA NEGGERS, "New York Times" best-selling author

""DeadlyTies" is a compelling, suspenseful action-adventure novel with a believable faith-challenging message, not only for the characters but for the reader as well. Vicki Hinze captured my attention, heart, and emotions in this gripping tale of pain, healing, forgiveness, and second chances, complete with colorful characters and a tender, playful love story woven into a powerful drama. I'm anxiously awaiting the next book in this series."
