About The Book
Title: Captured in Frame
Author: Laura Thomas
Series: Bite of Betrayal #1
Publisher: Mountain Brook Ink
Release Date: August 5, 2024
Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense
In an idyllic village nestled in the English countryside, photographer Georgia Brooks is desperate to begin a new chapter in her life. Bramble Cottage was supposed to give her space to heal and hope again after suffering betrayal and rejection by the only man she ever loved. This was Georgia’s chance to rekindle her faith and reconnect with her sisters in a place that held sweet childhood memories—not expose herself to the ugly underbelly of the art world and put her family in danger.
Local pediatric surgeon, Doctor William Hughes, is captivated by the Canadian beauty with a camera over one shoulder and the weight of the world on the other. After suffering his own tragic loss and balancing a demanding career with raising a toddler, he recognizes the heaviness of grief . . . and the burden of guilt.
When Georgia discovers she could be in possession of incriminating evidence to frame a criminal ring, she needs to trust someone. She chooses Will. Postcards, photographs, paintings—something about Bramble Cottage is worth killing for. Can Georgia uncover the truth in time?
Excerpt
Storms didn’t usually bother her, in fact, she enjoyed watching them from the comfort of home. Yet this was far from enjoyable as she squinted in order to monitor every sightline in the wall of glass. Was her vivid imagination playing tricks? Tree branches swung low as the wind picked up. It could be a toy blowing across the patio.
Eyes wide, she clutched her phone in both hands and clenched her jaw as another rumble of thunder sounded. Maybe I should check on Jack. He wasn’t crying, but he would be scared if he woke to this. Her limbs refused to move as she sat transfixed watching for movement outside.
She could almost hear her own heartbeat. There. A huge shadow came into view, too dark to make out. Another flash, a scream—her scream—as the shape of a man was illuminated from behind.
Rain-soaked, the figure stood and stared directly at her. Covered in a hooded oilskin coat, he was massive. She screamed again and he flinched. He pulled back his hood and leered.
It was him.
