Excerpt from 'Lethal Danger' by Jerusha Agen

Happy May Bookworms!

Ah May, otherwise known as my birthday month!! Yes, in nine short days I will be officially in my mid-40's. I was born on Mother's Day and my birthday falls on that day every few years but no matter what day it falls on my birthday is always eclipsed. I also share my birthday with my grandmother, which used to bother me, but as she is entering her mid-80's I cherish every year that we still have together. May is not my favorite month, but this year it is a huge month as so many wonderful things are happening, so I am thanking God for every precious moment, trying to remind myself to breathe, and intentionally being present, which is hard with my ADHD-riddled mind.

One thing that has always grounded me, and helped keep me focused, has been books, and today I am excited to share an excerpt from the latest release from the Guardians Unleashed series by Jerusha Agen, so I hope you enjoy!

About the Book

Title: Lethal Danger
Series: Guardians Unleashed #4
Author: Jerusha Agen
Publisher: SDG Words
Release Date: April 25, 2024
Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense

This K-9 team is trained to eliminate threats. This threat could eliminate them.

Being a loner is getting old. Jazz Lamont still can’t fit in at the Phoenix K-9 Agency, and she’s losing her best friend. At least providing security with her K-9 partner at the Tri-City Fair will mean revisiting the only place where she once belonged. But a series of accidents threatens her beloved fair and puts lives at risk.

Thriller author Hawthorne Emerson suspects foul play after the first “accident.” Moonlighting as fair security to investigate the death of his sister’s boyfriend, he’s eager to find the truth. He doesn’t expect the task to lead him to the cult he escaped.

Finding the culprit behind the sabotage is personal for Jazz and Hawthorne. But someone else has a personal stake, too. Someone who wants Jazz dead. When everything she thought was true is dismantled, can Jazz risk trusting others—including God—to survive?

Lethal Danger continues the thrilling story of the elite Phoenix K-9 Security and Detection Agency that began with Hidden Danger (Guardians Unleashed, #1). (Each book can stand alone or be read as series installments.)

Excerpt

Hawthorne glanced down below.

Wow. Way below. Glad he hadn’t looked down earlier. And he was especially glad heights didn’t bother him.

Wait a second…

Something moved, but not on the ground. On the Ferris wheel.

A person in a black T-shirt climbed up the spokes and beams exactly as he had done. Was that the redhead?

Sure enough, a dark ponytail swung as she shifted her body toward a spoke.

A strange feeling stirred in his chest as he watched her. She moved quickly—faster than he had climbed, actually. Her movements were fluid and strong. No hesitation or caution. Only athleticism and skill, not missing a hold in her almost rhythmic climb.

She disappeared under the cluster of connecting beams at the center. But only for a moment.

Then her head appeared above the horizontal spokes where he waited with the injured man.

She sprang onto the beams and crawled toward him nearly as fast as the monkeys he used to watch at the zoo where he had volunteered. Coiled rope hung from her shoulder and angled across her shirt.

“How is he?” She didn’t even sound out of breath as she came up beside Hawthorne, close to the passenger’s head.

Hawthorne turned toward the injured man. Probably should’ve been watching him instead of the remarkable woman who’d just free-climbed halfway up a 156-foot Ferris wheel without breaking a sweat.
