Bitter Truth by Shannon Hollinger

Surviving is only the beginning…

After narrowly escaping a sniper’s attempt on her life, FBI Agent Cassidy Knox is left shaken. No one knows for sure who ordered the hit. The threat is still out there. But despite the danger lurking in the shadows, Cassidy refuses to retreat. She’s worked too hard for the life she’s building at the animal sanctuary her grandfather left her in the Florida Everglades to abandon it and go into hiding, even if she suspects it’s a decision she’ll come to regret.

When two girls go missing, and a friend asks Cassidy to investigate, she sets out on her own to discover what happened to them—only to find herself the one in trouble. Held against her will, injured, and unable to escape, time is running out fast… because there’s a price on her head, and more than one person is eager to pay it. Her wits have always saved her before, but what if this time they’re not enough?

Caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse, up against insurmountable odds, her only hope is to figure out who it is that wants to kill her. But will the bitter truth be too devastating to bear?

Brace yourself before getting lost in this gripping tale of survival and heart-pounding suspense with a heroine who refuses to back down, even when the stakes couldn’t be higher.
