He’s Silas McKay, head of Discreet Corporate Security Services (DCSS) in Dallas, Texas.
She’s Ashley Davenport, the daughter of DCSS’s highest-paying client.

They each have personal issues . . .
Silas is a grieving widower who has difficulty relating to women and wants to be left alone.
Ashley is an independent woman who just got her PI license and wants Silas to mentor her.

They each have family issues . . .
Silas is trying to be both father and mother to his college-age daughter.
Ashley is trying to prove she no longer needs her father.

They each have spiritual issues . . .
Silas is struggling to maintain his faith in God.
Ashley is struggling to believe there is a God.

Now, they’re working together to solve a corporate espionage case . . .
As they investigate whether a research scientist is selling company secrets to an ex-con with a mysterious past, Silas realizes he is as intrigued by Ashley’s vivacious personality as he is by the case itself. Suddenly, when their complicated investigation takes an unexpected turn, his concern for Ashley’s safety threatens to overcome his good judgment.

One wonders . . .
Can two people of the opposite sex with different personalities be attracted to each other? Will their differences be an obstacle or a blessing?

One wonders . . .
Can a research scientist and an ex-con be engaged in criminal activity together? Will Silas be able to uncover the truth before it’s too late and someone gets hurt?

Discover the answers in this inspiring suspenseful read from USA Today bestselling author, Luana Ehrlich. This novella kicks off her new Silas McKay Suspense Series, a character-driven, emotion-packed series featuring Silas McKay, a corporate security investigator who’s not afraid to take risks, but who’s a little skittish about making changes.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Welcome to a fascinating and intelligent new series from a well-loved, creative author. You will instantly be intrigued by Silas McKay, his co-workers, boss and their unique cases. I highly recommend . . ." An Amazon Reviewer.

"Luana writes with detail, intelligence and makes the reader feel like they are in the scene. Her faith shines through in each story. Her characters, however, are just as flawed as we are, struggling with real life and what that looks like in the context of their beliefs of who Jesus Christ is." --An Amazon Reviewer.

    A great read, characters and storyline. The DCSS was on a case to find out something about a company’s employee because the boss thought he was selling information of a project. In the meantime Silas was asked to help a woman learn about being a PI. Must read to find out what happens. Definite a must read. A+++

    This book is the introduction to Silas McKay and the characters in the private security firm where he works. It has a calm, steady pace with suspense, but this first book is really centered on the characters. I really like the characters and the fact that many of them are Christians. It's an enjoyable book.

    Another great mystery from Luana Ehrlich. Silas McKay has been saddled with a new intern, Ashley Davenport, the daughter of DCSS's largest client, and he is not sure he likes the idea. While Silas and Ashley think they are investigating a possible corporate espionage case, they find something very different. The intern comes up with a great idea to finish the case but it puts her in danger. Silas begins to question his indifference to Ashley as he is still dealing with the death of his wife 6 months ago. This story has a great plot, interesting characters and a surprise ending. I loved the book. I like the way Luana Erlich names her books...One, Two, Three..etc. That way you always know where you are in a series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Many things to wonder about. Many mysteries to solve!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Once again Luana kept me guessing all the way through her book’s many twists and turns. Because the CEO of the company hiring Silas has a hunch that an employee may be selling company secrets many questions arise. There are plenty of things Silas wonders about along the way. Is that CEO’s hunch well founded or not? If it is, how can Silas find out? Can he trust the motives of his new intern? Just what skill set does she possess for helping him? How much danger might confront them along the way? Through all this Silas has a very personal question of his own- he wonders where God is in his life and how much can he trust him? If you’re a person who enjoys a great story with multiple mysteries to solve along the way this book is for you!
    PS If you prefer the paperback version Luana will gladly send you a signed copy!

    It's great to enjoy a book with a clean relaxing story. A story with pure entertainment with no sexual overtones, no foul language and no graphic violance. It's gratifying to know that there is still talented writers in the world today. God provides such talent through gifted people like Luana Ehrlich.

    Thank you Luana for sharing the gift of writing God has granted you. And, thank you for sharing some of God's hope for us.
