Cara C. Putman. Thomas Nelson, $16.99 trade paper (336p) ISBN 978-0-7852-3327-5

Putman (the Hidden Justice series) delivers a whirlwind of controversy, secrets, and murder in this stand-alone romantic suspense novel. Investigative reporter Jett Glover publishes an in-depth exposé implicating popular baseball player Logan Donnelly and a group of his friends in a sex-trafficking scandal in Thailand. While searching for the names of others involved, Jett begins getting calls from an anonymous source telling him there’s more to the story. Meanwhile attorney Savannah Daniels, the ex-wife of Dustin Tate, one of Donnelly’s friends allegedly involved in the trafficking scandal, promises Dustin’s daughter Addy that she’ll get to the truth while simultaneously investigating the connection between one of her clients and a deadly plane crash. And a mysterious third party, enraged by Jett’s article, has decided to take justice into their own hands by going after Donnelly and friends. As the various threads converge, Jett and Savannah take comfort in one another. The chaste, slow-burning romance is almost an afterthought, but the mystery is fast-paced and twisty. This multifaceted thriller will keep readers turning pages. Agent: Karen Solem, Spencerhill Assoc. (Apr.)
