Ex-CIA operative Lacey Montgomery is a liar, a murderer and a fugitive--or is she? Green Beret Jim Micah must either prove her innocence or bring her to justice. Too bad his heart won't stay out of the way.

"In this first installment of a three-book series featuring a search and rescue team, shaky writing undermines a promising premise. After years of aliases, international spy Lacey Galloway Montgomery holds the key to a return to personal stability in the Ex-6 encryption/decryption program she's developed. Lacey hopes it will revolutionize the National Security Agency and rehabilitate her reputation as a traitor who allegedly murdered her husband, John. The beautiful, widowed MIT Ph.D.'s heart, however, has always belonged to Jim Micah, the 'Iceman,' John's best high school buddy. Micah is about to come into her life again, along with his search and rescue team, to help recover Lacey's kidnapped daughter and deliver the Ex-6 safely into patriotic hands. However, Micah has his own set of problems, including keeping the torch he's always carried for Lacey hidden ('she'd gotten under his skin. Like a virus. Or an old football injury'). Reflects Micah: 'A smart man would expunge her the second she started tunneling through the soft tissue of his emotions.' The idea of a search and rescue team is intriguing, but the novel's pacing is slowed by characters' repetitive self-reflection, theology discussions and flashbacks to high school life. And the rich, specific details of Warren's scenes come at the price of occasional overwriting." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Ex-CIA operative Lacey Montgomery is a liar, a murderer, and a fugitive--or is she? Former Green Beret Jim Micah must either prove her innocence or bring her to justice. Too bad his heart won't stay out of the way. With a little girl's life and national secrets hanging in the balance, Jim and Lacey must trust God to help them flee the secrets of the night.

The past could not have picked a worse time to find her.

When Lacey Montgomery boarded the train with her six-year-old daughter, she never expected to wake up hours later handcuffed to a hospital bed and under investigation by the National Security Agency. Lacey, an ex-CIA operative, is a liar, a murderer, and a fugitive. Or is she? With no idea whether her daughter is alive or dead and nowhere to turn for help, Lacey contacts the one man she believes she can trust. A man who is convinced that Lacey betrayed her country and murdered her own husband.

Now Lacey must prove to Jim Micah, an ex-Green Beret, that she is not who he thinks she is. As Micah is drawn further into Laceys world of aliases, covert ops, and espionage, he must face the questions and pain of his own past.

Only by trusting God and daring to trust each other can Lacey and Micah flee the secrets of the night.
