Accidental Target by Theresa Lynn Hall is her debut novel in Harlequin’s Love Inspired Suspense 
Line.
Allison Moore was on her way to visit her sister Maddie’s family and their newborn baby girl in Stonewater. The roads were icing up so Allison was driving as carefully as she could. As she started around a curve a truck was coming at her in her lane. She managed to swerve onto the shoulder to avoid a collision. The truck flew past her and turned over against an embankment. Allison turned around to see if anyone in the truck needed assistance. When Allison looked inside the truck she saw a scary looking man but she offered to help anyway. Next thing she knew the man started yelling and shooting at her. She raced back to her car and immediately started backing away. The gunshots kept coming. A bullet hit a tire but she kept going until she couldn’t anymore and her car slid and smashed into a fence. Allison had called 911 when she first saw the truck flip over.
First on the scene of Allison’s accident was Sergeant Jackson Archer. Jackson stayed with Allison until the ambulance arrived. He told her that he would see her at the hospital to answer some questions. That’s how Allison and Jackson met. Beginning that night Allison faced numerous attempts on her life. She trusted Jackson to keep her safe.
Jackson Archer is a troubled man. He hasn’t recovered from the death of his wife and daughter five years ago. When he met Allison he couldn’t believe that she was able to melt some of the ice around his heart. Keeping her safe was his top priority but keeping his heart safe from Allison wasn’t working. The attempts on her life were very scary but he was determined to keep her safe. Turns out a major cartel leader was after her. Somehow the cartel thugs kept finding Allison. This was a tough job under these circumstances. Jackson suspected that there was a mole somewhere so the only one he could trust was his friend Detective Devon Sparks. Then he lost contact with Devon. He was alone but determined.
I found this book to be an excellent read. The author has great characters, sets a fast pace and keeps the action going. Allison and Jackson are characters with troubled pasts but manage to realize that the future holds happiness for them. I look forward to more stories by Theresa Hall.
