First Line Friday — Cold Light of Day

Happy Friday! I am so excited to share Elizabeth Goddard‘s latest romantic suspense, Cold Light of Day, book 1 of Missing in Alaska series. This novel doesn’t release until next week, but you can pre-order now. You know you want to! 😉

Here’s the first line:

I never should have come.

Police Chief Autumn Long is fighting to keep her job in the quiet Alaska town of Shadow Gap when an unexpected string of criminal activity leaves her with a wounded officer, unexplained murders, and even an attack on her own father. Despite her mistrust of outsiders, she turns to Grier Brenner, a newcomer who seems to have the skills and training Autumn needs to face this threat to her community.

Grier is in Alaska for the same reason so many others are–to disappear–when Chief Long enlists his help. He emerges from the shadows and proves his mettle, but his presence in her life could be a deadly trap for them both. If his secret is exposed, all will be lost. And he’s not sure even Autumn could save him.

As the stakes rise and the dangers increase, Autumn and Grier must rely on each other to extinguish the deadly threats
