Romance and suspense collide in this pulse-pounding read!


NY Times & USA Today bestselling author Lorhainne Eckhart brings you an emotional O’Connell family novel that is both “Gut-wrenching & Riveting.”

A small town. A scared little girl. A man with a gun. A small cabin deep in the woods. This book was a wonderful story."
-Bev, Bookbub Reviewer

Bad-boy deputy Marcus O’Connell dreads what cops know as the third call.


When Marcus takes the call the first time, he thinks it’s a prank.

The second time, he knows there’s a problem.

The third time the call comes in and is patched through to him, he knows it’s something he can’t ignore.

The only thing is, the girl is terrified and keeps hanging up, and Marcus knows someone is in the house with her. Can they save a girl from a desperate situation? “Grab your copy now by clicking the BUY now with 1-Click button at the top of this page!”

Editorial Reviews

Review

-"This story is one that will stick with me for quite awhile. It is raw, gritty and the stuff of nightmares for those who are parents or part of a close knit family like the Friessens." - (Rebmay, Reviewer)

-"A new family series more suspenseful than the Friessens." - Karen L. Vine Voice

-"Deputy Marcus O'Connell has a sixth sense when it comes to crime, honed by a troubled childhood. So when a young girl calls, asking for help, he finds himself in a hostage situation of sorts with a disillusioned ex- military and a homeless single mother." - Honest Bookworm, Reviewer

-"I truly love this author. She writes from the heart about the everyday things that actually happen in real life."- Caroline L. UK Reviewer

-"Marcus's story is a powerful read that may make you rail at the injustice that often occurs when those who deserve our protection the most are the ones who fall through the cracks and are failed by our system." - Catlou, Bookbub Reviewer

-"A small town. A scared little girl. A man with a gun. A small cabin deep in the woods. This book was a wonderful story." -Bev, Bookbub Reviewer

-"A truly emotional and action packed story. This book hit it close to our society today. Really enjoyed..." - Linda Z., Goodreads Reviewer

"Lorhainne Eckhart has this uncanny way of just hitting the spot every time with her books.” (Caroline L., Reviewer)

The O’Connells: The O’Connells of Livingston, Montana are not your typical family. A riveting collection of stories surrounding the ups and downs of what goes on within a family but also with some suspense, angst and of course a bit of romance thrown in for good measure “I thought I loved the Friessens, but I absolutely adore the O’Connell’s. Each and every book has totally different genres of stories but the one thing in common is how she is able to wrap it around the family which is the heart of each story.” (C. Logue)

The Friessens: An emotional big family romance series, the Friessen family siblings find their relationships tested, lay their hearts on the line, and discover lasting love! “Lorhainne Eckhart is one of my go to authors when I want a guaranteed good book. So many twists and turns, but also so much love and such a strong sense of family.” (Lora W., Reviewer)

The Parker Sisters: The Parker Sisters are a close-knit family, and like any other family they have their ups and downs. “Eckhart has crafted another intense family drama…The character development is outstanding, and the emotional investment is high…" (Aherman, Reviewer)

The McCabe Brothers: Join the five McCabe siblings on their journeys to the dark and dangerous side of love! An intense, exhilarating collection of romantic thrillers you won’t want to miss. — “Eckhart has a new series that is definitely worth the read. The queen of the family saga started this series with a spin-off of her wildly successful Friessen series.” From a Readers’ Favorite award—winning author and “queen of the family saga” (Aherman)

5.0 out of 5 stars Tense, riveting story
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2021

I was riveted to the story from the beginning. The tense life and death situation and the sometimes unjust criminal system are balanced with a sense of family and love. I was drawn into the O'Connell family and now want to read about the rest of the siblings. Although I haven't read the first book in the series yet, this one can stand on its own.

This one kept you on the edge of your seat! Loved Marcus, he’s got a heart of gold. Charlotte and Marcus, wonderful! Eva, was another matter. You just wanted to pick her up and run away with her. This was a story that sucked you in and wouldn’t let go. I really enjoy Marcus’s family, glad for visit. Thank you for the getaway. I recommend this series, you won’t be sorry!

3.0 out of 5 stars A short glimpse of one member of the O’Connells
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2020
Verified Purchase
Inside perspective of a sheriff’s deputy on the job. Emotional description of a good man of character trying to right an impossible situation playing out with the deputy in the center. Not much character development and just a surface coverage of one member of the O’Connell family. The plot appears to have an interesting foundation but this interim segment does not merit a separate book to wring more money from a reader.

The second book in the O'Connell family series did not disappoint! True to the nature of other series written by this author, you really get to know each of the members of the family. When you are finished reading their story you feel like you have known them all you life. The family connection that runs through this series, like with her other series, makes you want to get to know them better and makes you want to be a part of that connection. Another very well written story! I can not wait for the next book!!!!

A 911 caller is a little girl by the name of Eva. Shes scared and Deputy Marcus comes to save her. Everything gets all mixed up and she needs saved again. The characters are believable and heart wrenching. Love her books.

I did like the book. Marcus was the type of man women dream about and although it took Charlotte waaay to long to get her head out of her backside, I liked her too.
I would have liked to know more of the future for them, but still enjoyed the book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad read.
Reviewed in Canada on June 24, 2022
Verified Purchase
Another reviewer said this was an ok story that lacked depth and I think I'd have to agree. It was gut wrenching in the issues it brought up. How peoples lives spiral out of their control and lead to something bad. How the law sometimes makes things worse instead of better. But in terms of the relationship between Marcus and Charlotte, there just wasn't much to it. But the first book in this series was the same, so maybe that is just this author's writing style - not big on character development. This read more like a novella.

Reviewed in Australia on July 19, 2021

I enjoyed the overall story but found the specifics (suspense, romance, Eva's change of carer) all seemed to be glossed over and rushed. I've read and enjoyed quite a few books by Lorhainne Eckhart and would have given more stars if this story had as much punch as her other writings.
