About the Book

Title: The Hunted Heir 

Author: Jayna Breigh 

Publisher: Kregel Publications 

Release Date: January 28, 2025 

Genre: Romantic Legal Drama

After a tragic loss, private investigator Nona Taylor swore off romantic entanglements and distanced herself from the world. Once a year, on New Year's Eve, she attends church to beg God for forgiveness, haunted by the guilt of driving her twin sister to her death.

Attorney DeMarcus Johnson is determined to climb the ladder to partnership by winning high-profile cases at his Los Angeles law firm, harnessing his ADHD hyperfocus to excel. He's everything Nona knows to steer clear of--an overconfident ex-jock willing to do anything for success. 

Their worlds collide when Nona's pastor receives a mysterious letter claiming he's the sole heir to a substantial estate. Desperate for answers, Nona infiltrates a lavish charity ball, only to be found out by a suspicious stranger--so she latches onto DeMarcus and concocts a fib about being his fiancée. 

Now bound by a false engagement, the pair reluctantly join forces to discover the truth about the inheritance. But when an unseen enemy strikes, they realize the stakes are higher than they thought. Can Nona and DeMarcus overcome their differences to keep the pastor safe, secure DeMarcus's partnership, and preserve a future for themselves?

Excerpt

Councilman Calloway stood beside Zeke’s elbow. “Why haven’t you closed the deal?” Calloway’s voice pushed out in a harsh rasp.

“Like I told you, he won’t meet with me.” Zeke eyed the dude and his chick again.

“It’s been two weeks now.”

“I know.” Every time he called the church, the old pastor put him off with one excuse or another. Wouldn’t even set up an appointment to meet with him. Zeke had burned up two round-trip tickets, trying to get the pastor to sign and return the retainer agreement. The clock was ticking. If the old man didn’t step forward and the property went back to the state, there was no way Calloway could get it at the cut-rate price they planned to chisel out of the pastor. It would go to the highest bidder at the auction.

“You told me not to worry, you could handle it.” Calloway cut Zeke a hard look. “I don’t know why I put up with you, Zeke.” He made a dismissive gesture with his hands. “You’ve always been soft and dense. Couldn’t take a few licks from your old man, couldn’t take a hit on the field, and you couldn’t find two thoughts to rub together if you tried.”
