About the Book

Author: Jessica Ashley
Publisher: B.A.D. Publishing, LLC
Release Date: February 23, 2026
Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense
She vanished on their wedding day. Now she’s back… and someone wants her dead.
Zane Knox is a man who doesn’t officially exist.
The former Navy SEAL has spent years living in the shadows, forced into off-the-books missions for a government agency that owns his secrets—and his freedom. He’s learned the hard way that love is a liability and trust gets you killed.
Until the woman who broke his heart stumbles onto his boat in the middle of the night.
Bruised. Terrified. And begging for medical supplies.
Tessa Lane doesn’t know who’s hunting her or why. She only knows that nowhere is safe and that every place she runs to turns into another crime scene. The faith she once clung to is gone. So is her belief in love… and the vows she nearly made to Zane.
But when the danger closes in and her past catches up to her, Zane becomes the only safe place she has left.
Protecting Tessa was never part of his mission.
But losing her might destroy what little is left of him.
As a relentless enemy hunts them through the coastal shadows, Zane and Tessa must confront the secrets that tore them apart—and the faith, love, and redemption that might be the only things that can save them now.
Because this time, walking away isn’t an option.

Excerpt
A future with this man was all I’d ever wanted.
We’d even planned on taking his father’s boat—this very boat—around the world together afterward. An extended honeymoon where we’d sleep in, sail, and spend our evenings beneath the stars.
Peace.
Home.
That’s what he’d offered me. Now I’m sitting across from him, not as his wife but as a hunted woman. A woman who nearly got him killed only a few hours ago.
“You really should let me go,” I tell him. “I’ll be fine on my own.”
“You can barely walk.” Those sharp green eyes pin me in place.
“It’s not the first time I’ve been hurt, and it probably won’t be the last.” The night of my wedding, my father had snapped my ankle. I’d had to push through the pain then, and I can do it now. Though I don’t elaborate on that.
His nostrils flare. Is he thinking of the time I was seventeen and he’d come home from college break to find me barely moving after walking in on my father and a random woman in our living room?
Or the year before that, when I’d been pushed down the stairs and broken my clavicle?
I shove those poisoned memories aside. They’re in the past, and that man is long dead. He can’t hurt me from six feet under.
That was only proven tonight when I stepped into his empty trailer.
He really is gone. The man who always seemed indestructible was destroyed by the alcohol he refused to put down.
“We’ll start digging tomorrow, see if we can find out what’s going on and who’s after you. If there’s something to be found, we’ll find it,” he says, confidence lacing every word. When I don’t respond, he returns to reading his Bible, and I fall quiet, sipping my tea and watching him every chance I get.
I know God exists.
I know that He created us.
That He sent His Son to die for us.
What I don’t know about is the grace they say He offers.
I know my sins.
The weight of them crushes down on me daily.
And if I can’t forgive myself, how can I expect my Creator to forgive me?
