About this ebook

A chaplain in the line of fire has her faith and a never-say-die friend on her side in this non-stop thrill ride from the USA Today–bestselling author.

Navy chaplain Angela Gallagher wants to put the past behind her, but she’s still haunted by the wartime death of her assistant. So when his brother claims he’s in danger and pleads for her to use her family’s private detective company’s resources to help him stay alive, she can’t turn him down. But someone will stop at nothing—even murder—to keep her from revealing their secrets. She’ll have to depend on a military colleague to keep her head above water. Dr. Dan Blackwater was in the field with her when her assistant died, and he’s determined to keep her safe. Can they sift through the web of lies to find the truth without losing their lives?

    Dana Mentink has done it again. Whenever I read one of her romantic suspense books I know I'm about to be taken on a fast-paced, riveting, action-packed joyride. And that's exactly what I got with Seaside Secrets.Tank Guzman needs Angela Gallagher's help, but not the help she's accustomed to giving. As navy chaplain she's assisted many to cope with their grief, but the pain of witnessing Tank's brother's death in Kandahar, Afghanistan has her wondering if she's truly qualified to carry on that role. Julio Guzman, Tank's brother, died while trying to protect her, and the guilt she carries, along with the PTSD, finds her stepping away from her duties as chaplain and into helping with her family's detective agency in California, Pacific Coast Investigations. Tank Guzman contends that someone is trying to kill him, but his bitter attitude towards Angela because of his twin brother's dying while trying to save her, along with his checkered past, makes Angela skeptical. Perhaps he's setting her up to be harmed as revenge for his brother's death. Nevertheless, she feels that Tank is telling the truth, and an obligation to help him because of Julio. Dan Blackwater, the heart doctor who served in Afghanistan with Angela and tried but failed to save Julio's life, wants to help her get to the bottom of what's going on with Tank, but Angela wants to keep Dan at arms length because of her attraction to him, unwilling to foster a relationship while she's uncertain about her own life and future. But when a young woman, Lila Brown, narrowly escapes being blown to bits, and Angela's life is eventually threatened, she concedes to a helping hand in Dan; one that might aid her in healing, and possibly in finding someone intent on murder.Seaside Secrets starts off at a fast pace and keeps your heart pounding until the stunning conclusion. Dana Mentink is an excellent suspense writer. I was thoroughly impressed by the revelation of why Tank Guzman was running; very creative. I loved this book and recommend it highly.
