The Marked Bride Vicki Hinze

The Shadow Watchers were introduced in the Crossroads Crisis Center novels. Now they return with their own stories...



SHE BROKE THEIR ENGAGEMENT

In Seagrove Village, former Shadow Watcher, Tim, receives a stunning text from his ex-fiancé, Mandy, on their long dormant, secure phone. She is in trouble and needs help. Against the team's objections--Mandy had broken their engagement to marry another man--Tim responds...and discovers NINA, Nihilists in Anarchy, an international terrorist organization the Shadow Watchers have tangled with before, is after Tim's team again. This time, through Mandy.

NOW SHE RETURNS RISKING BOTH THEIR LIVES

The breakup had devastated Tim, but what he discovers now forces him to work with Mandy to reveal yet another layer of operatives in the NINA organization. A layer that, for Mandy, strikes terror close to home and makes her The Marked Bride.

FEW ARE WHO THEY SEEM. FACTS ARE MERCURIAL

Even those fighting this formidable enemy with the Shadow Watchers are withholding vital information that endangers the lives of all the Shadow Watchers and leaves Tim and Mandy wondering: Can they reveal the truth and protect the nation's interests and stay alive? Can the team succeed in the fight against the enemy and its own side?

THEIR SURVIVAL IS IN DOUBT, THEIR FUTURE UNCERTAIN

When all is done, who will survive? And of the survivors, if Tim and Mandy are among them, will they stand together, or again be robbed of their future and forever forced apart?
