About the book
An engaged Jalyn Stewart returns to her hometown of Durango,
Colorado following an accident that changed her life and Olympic dreams. A
future with Timothy, her lawyer fiancé, moves forward with his new business
partnership and their wedding plans. Jalyn’s part-time journalist job brings an
unexpected encounter with an old flame and sparks fly. Can she believe him when
he says he has changed?
Disturbing messages and threats make her realize, she's being stalked. Jalyn
searches through her mind trying to discover why and who might be the stalker
and does it have anything to do with her accident? Nothing points to the
answers to her questions, causing more frustration. Jalyn’s faith is challenged
as fear clutches her heart and soul.
An electric bicycle race takes Adam Walker to his home town of Durango,
Colorado and through the mountains to the historic mining town of Silverton.
His heart never got over the beautiful Jalyn after he left, hoping to be rid of
the God she lived for. At their first encounter after his return, he notices
she wears an engagement ring and his heart plummets. Can he accept them as
friends or should he fight for more? Pride and a wager pits cycles against the
mighty steam engine in an unheard-of race. Adam must conquer the mountain to win
the race and the heart of the one he loves. Through overcoming dangerous
obstacles is his new faith strong enough to rely on the Lord?
My review
Fuson’s new contemporary suspense in dramatic form. When
Jalyn’s Olympic hopes are shattered, she returns to her touristy small hometown
of Durango, Colorado, convincing her attorney fiancé to come along. Timothy
sets up shop with a colleague and begins to build a clientele while Jalyn
begins to integrate back into her former life of church and home and friends,
and enjoys her many part-time jobs of cub reporter, summertime youth baseball
umpire and wintertime ski instructor.
But home isn’t quite so friendly and familiar when Jalyn
begins to receive threatening notes insinuating she was the source of someone
else’s misfortunes and would pay. From then on, Jalyn feels she’s being watched
and reports the matter to the local law enforcement. Durango has many
attractions and happy summertime events, including the Durango to Silverton
train. The train is not only famous for happy rails riding, but the subject of
races of all kinds. This summer, it’s electric bicycles racing the train. Jalyn
is sent to cover the intrepid bicycle riders and meets her former boyfriend,
Adam, who’s made some marvelous life-changing decisions and cleaned up his act.
As Jalyn’s fiancé continues to downplay her growing fears and the threats
against her, oddly withdrawing more and more as their wedding approaches, Jalyn
begins to turn to Adam for comfort and advice.
As Jalyn’s stalker acts out, affecting the lives of her
friends and their businesses, even their lives and her own, Jalyn has many
truths to face. She’s not alone. Faith, family, and friends enjoin in this
gripping tale of romantic suspense.
