Witness Safeguard Mission by Carol Post is exactly the kind of fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat story I’ve come to expect from her. The suspense kicks in immediately, as two sisters discover intruders on their property and witness a shocking attack on their father—launching a chain of danger that never lets up.
As they flee, they cross paths with Officer Braydon Feldman and his K-9, Caesar. Thrown together under intense circumstances, they’re forced to rely on one another, gradually building trust while navigating constant danger. Along the way, their connection grows as they help each other—Braydon protecting them from immediate threats, and both finding ways to heal from past wounds.
Even as they try to stay one step ahead, the danger keeps resurfacing in unexpected ways, making it hard to put the book down—I finished it in under 24 hours, even with a full workday in between (otherwise I would have finished it quicker!). Questions keep you turning pages: How do their pursuers keep finding them? When will they finally be safe? And what happens once the danger is over?
The characters are especially engaging. Nicole, her younger sister Maddy, Braydon, and his sister Brandi add depth and balance, showing both the intensity of the situation and the importance of family and connection. Watching their relationships develop is just as compelling as unraveling the mystery.
With nonstop tension, relatable characters, and a strong thread of faith and healing, this is a compelling, quick read. If you enjoy suspense that pulls you in from the first page and doesn’t let go, this is definitely one to check out.

About the Author:
From medical secretary to court reporter to property manager to owner of a special events decorating company, my resume reads as if I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. But one thing that has remained constant through the years is my love for writing. I currently pen fun and fast-paced inspirational romance and romantic suspense stories. My books have won several awards and been nominated for two RITA® awards and an RT Reviewers’ Choice Best Book Award.
After spending most of my life in Florida, a few years ago, I moved to the mountains of North Carolina, where I write my stories outside on the back deck in the summertime and inside in front of the fireplace in the wintertime. When I’m not writing or doing writerly things, I enjoy hiking, camping, kayaking—almost anything outdoors. My two grown daughters and grandkids live too far away for my liking, so I now pour all that nurturing into taking care of two sassy black cats.
