A brother’s promise
After his brother is convicted of murder, Shane Mason will do anything to clear his name. But when his investigations lead him to enter South Dakota’s Desert Quest extreme race, Shane is floored by the surprise waiting for him. Kelly Cloudman—the woman he can’t let himself love—is the race’s medic...and the killer’s next target. A painful memory from his past divided Shane from Kelly, but he’s not going to let her out of his sight again. Even if it means revealing his secrets, Shane won’t stop until he’s found the truth—and kept the murderer from striking again.
Kelly looked again at the GPS fixed to the dashboard, which suddenly blinked to a blank screen.
“Don’t quit on me now,” she muttered, pushing down the panic at the thought of being lost in this maze of twists and turns. The sides were high, giving her the pinched, closed-in feeling that something bad was going to happen.
Stop being silly. You’re driving through a storm, that’s all.
Her stomach clenched into a tight ball as the storm let loose.
Frantically she yanked the wheel back and forth, to no avail. The water began to fill the canyon as if someone had turned on a giant faucet, causing the car to hydroplane. Willing herself not to scream, she wrenched ineffectively at the wheel. It began to turn in lazy circles until it smacked into a rocky projection and lodged there. Flash flood, of course.
She peered out the window, terrified to see the water rising steadily. It was cresting the bottom of the door and moving fast.
With fingers gone cold she unlocked the driver’s door and pushed.
Nothing.

Dear Reader,
Welcome to Love Inspired!
2012 is a very special year for us. It marks the fifteenth anniversary of Love Inspired Books. Hard to believe that fifteen years ago, we first began publishing our warm and wonderful inspirational romances.
Back in 1997, we offered readers three books a month. Since then we’ve expanded quite a bit! In addition to the heartwarming contemporary romances of Love Inspired, we have the exciting romantic suspenses of Love Inspired Suspense, and the adventurous historical romances of Love Inspired Historical. Whatever your reading preference, we’ve got fourteen books a month for you to choose from now!
Throughout the year we’ll be celebrating in several different ways. Look for books by bestselling authors who’ve been writing for us since the beginning, stories by brand-new authors you won’t want to miss, special miniseries in all three lines, reissues of top authors, and much, much more.
This is our way of thanking you for reading Love Inspired books. We know our uplifting stories of hope, faith and love touch your hearts as much as they touch ours.
Join us in celebrating fifteen amazing years of inspirational romance!
Blessings,
Melissa Endlich and Tina James

Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance, and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
—Hebrews 12:1–2
