3rd in the Brandt Family Adventures
She had been taught a lot of important things, but how to hide from the man she loves wasn’t one of them.
As an active shooter event begins to unfold inside a popular Southern California shopping mall, a mysterious woman steps out of a shadowy corridor to kill the gunman and prevent the massacre. She then disappears without a trace before authorities arrive on the scene.
In this thrilling romantic adventure tale, Katie Brandt (“His Daddy’s Car” and “Fortunes Change”) is living in her family’s condo while completing her doctorate in molecular biology. At the same time, she is interviewing tenants for the next-door condo unit, also owned by her family. She agrees to lease it to a brother and sister couple; her decidion strongly influenced by her sub-conscious attraction to the brother, Tyler Davis.
Katie’s attraction to Tyler becomes more evident to her when they meet again at a charity car show. Learning that he is an agent with the California Department of Law Enforcement, her inherent reluctance to share too many personal details about herself and her family clashes with Tyler’s training in behavioral science and his natural curiosity towards a woman he is very interested in getting to know better.
Politically driven interests in identifying the mystery woman from the mall shooting soon have Tyler and his team assigned the case. Facing obstacles to the investigation from some very powerful and influential sources, the team finds few leads remaining; and witnesses that suddenly disappear before they can be questioned. While unidentifiable in the video of the shooting, Tyler senses an unexplainable connection to the woman referred to by the media as the “Shoreline Angel”.
The search for the Shoreline Angel looms perilously over the blooming relationship between Katie and Tyler. Encouraged by her cousin, Cile, to embrace a relationship with Tyler to “keep him close”, Katie agrees as a means for them to monitor the investigation. When aspects in the case present leads that Katie’s special knowledge of classic cars may provide answers to, Tyler doesn’t hesitate to ask for her assistance.
As their romantic, lust-filled relationship continues to develop, Katie must walk a fine line between her desire for a life-long relationship with Tyler and the need to protect the identity of the woman he is so desperately trying to find. Unbeknownst to either of them, covering up the identity of the mystery woman has also hindered the investigation into the shooter and his unknown motive behind the planned attack at the mall.
Meeting Katie’s family and finally being brought into the inner circle, Tyler learns details about the gunman previously hidden from his investigation. Combining those details with evidence on the case that he alone possesses allows Tyler to discover a sinister plot by a secret organization that there is precious little time left to prevent.
