The secret between them
Angela Taylor knew her sister was in trouble. For anyone but a twin, her instincts would seem crazy, and her actions crazier. Picking up and moving herself and her daughter, Celia, to Scorpion Ridge and asking questions put them all at risk. Even more risky was trusting Jake Farraday, the handsome ex-cop turned forest ranger. Years in witness protection had taught Angela to trust no one. Yet with Abigail missing, Jake was her only hope, and she found herself wanting to share more of her past with him. And more of her future. But did Jake have his own motives for helping Angela?
“Mom.”
Angela started. “What? Did you say something?”
“You’re staring off into space. Or maybe you’re staring at the man who just sat down at the counter.”
“I don’t stare at men.”
Celia sighed. “Maybe you should.”
Angela almost spewed the tea she’d been sipping. Yeah, she’d love to involve a man in her life—a man like Jake Farraday. But wouldn’t he get a kick out of hearing about the people who wanted her dead? She might never be able to lead a normal life: be a wife and soccer mother, join the PTA, introduce herself by the name she was born with. What guy wouldn’t love that?
“We should definitely come to this diner more often,” Celia said. “There’s lots of good-looking guys of all ages.”
“Eat,” Angela ordered.
I see suspense everywhere. When I go to the bank, I look at the person in line behind me and think: bank robber. When I go to the airport, I look at someone with lots of luggage and think: runaway bride. Even when I pick my son up from school, I just know one of those parents is keeping a secret...
So it should be no surprise that the idea for The Missing Twin came to me while riding the city bus. It started with the thought, “Just who is that guy who always sits in the very back?” He looks so tough, but there’s something about his eyes, something that tells me he has a heart. And now he’ll be another ordinary person who I’ll thrust a whole history upon and put in one of my books. I’ll name him Jake Farraday, and he’ll be an undercover cop.
If books have themes, this one is about sudden change. Our heroine, Angela Taylor, started life as Sophia Erickson. And then she opened the wrong drawer in her father’s desk. Angela uncovered her father’s secret, exposed him and changed not only her life but the life of her twin sister.
Jake Farraday knows about change, too. He unwittingly shared a secret, and it changed Angela’s life one more time. Now, ten years later, she’s back, and he wants to repay his debt. Except if Angela ever finds out the truth, it will change the way she feels about him.
But some changes make life better.
I hope you enjoy Jake and Angela’s story as well as the others in the Scorpion Ridge series. I love connecting with readers. You can visit me at my website, pamelatracy.com.
