After a tragic loss, private investigator Nona Taylor swore off romantic entanglements and distanced herself from the world. Once a year, on New Year's Eve, she attends church to beg God for forgiveness, haunted by the guilt of driving her twin sister to her death.
Attorney DeMarcus Johnson is determined to climb the ladder to partnership by winning high-profile cases at his Los Angeles law firm, harnessing his ADHD hyperfocus to excel. He's everything Nona knows to steer clear of--an overconfident ex-jock willing to do anything for success.
Their worlds collide when Nona's pastor receives a mysterious letter claiming he's the sole heir to a substantial estate. Desperate for answers, Nona infiltrates a lavish charity ball, only to be found out by a suspicious stranger--so she latches onto DeMarcus and concocts a fib about being his fiancée.
Now bound by a false engagement, the pair reluctantly join forces to discover the truth about the inheritance. But when an unseen enemy strikes, they realize the stakes are higher than they thought. Can Nona and DeMarcus overcome their differences to keep the pastor safe, secure DeMarcus's partnership, and preserve a future for themselves?

MY THOUGHTS.....
The Hunted Heir is a cornucopia of everything I love in a book! The characters are fantastic and mystery, history, and family secrets add to the drama and intrigue. Author Jayna Breigh perfectly captures Nona's overpowering guilt over her sister's death, DeMarcus's drive to succeed, and two of the best-supporting characters ever! All of us, at one time or another, have needed the faith and understanding of Pastor Grant and the unfailing love and wisdom of a wonderful G'Ma!
I was captivated from the heartrending first words until the heartwarming conclusion of this debut novel! Breigh kept me turning the pages to learn the secrets and solve the mystery, but it was impossible to ignore the romance! Could a pretend engagement become something more? I highly recommend The Hunted Heir to all who enjoy romantic Christian suspense.
I received a digital copy from the author and publisher. There was no obligation for a positive review.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
