EXCERPT:

Grace was making homemade pizza for supper that night and kneading the dough gave her an opportunity to try to untangle her thoughts. She’d been struggling to do that ever since John announced his intentions to stay in Living Skies, at least for the time being.

            But how long was that going to be? She couldn’t imagine it would take long for him to teach Toby everything he would be able to handle at his age. Toby might have formed a quick attachment to his camera but he was only five years old.

            Besides, he was already forming an attachment to John. Being as objective as she could manage, without letting pangs of envy get in the way, Grace had to consider what it would do to the little boy to become even  more attached and then have John leave. Because no matter what John was saying right now, she couldn’t believe his intention to stay would last long.

            That had something to do with his father, but that subject was off-limits for John and her.

EXCERPT:

"I love you the most-est," the young woman said proudly.

"That’s not a word," the man fired back.

"It is now. I win." The woman grinned at the guy.

Lainey welcomed the distraction. It reminded her that there was more to this world than death. There were experiences in between birth and death that made life worth living. And this was one of them.

She continued walking behind the couple, who were slowly widening the space between her and them. She was drawn in by the very obvious love between these two. It gave Lainey hope that there was a happily-ever-after out there for her too. Not that she was looking for a guy. She didn’t have time to get distracted. Because she wasn’t stopping her journey until she learned the secret her mother alluded to.

They stopped walking.

"No. I win." The guy turned to the woman and withdrew a black ring box from his pocket.

The woman’s eyes widened. She audibly gasped or had that been Lainey? She’d never seen anyone do a proposal right in front of her. It was almost like her mother was sending her a sign from the other side—that she wasn’t supposed to give up on the good things in life.

The young woman pressed a hand to her mouth. The guy dropped to one knee. He opened the box and held it up to her.

Lainey stopped. Her mouth gaped as this most special moment unfolded right in front of her. It pumped a little joy into her aching heart. And for that moment, she wasn’t thinking about how life had let her down—how her parents had let her down.

She wasn’t the only one to be caught up in the moment. People on both sides of the street stopped to watch the proposal. How could anyone pass by this magical moment?

The man knelt there on the sidewalk, holding up the ring that sparkled in the sunlight. "Melinda Coleman, I have loved you for what feels like forever and in other ways it feels like our story has just begun. You bring out the best in me and make me want to strive to be a better man." As the man spoke, the woman smiled as happy tears streamed down her cheeks. "Life is an adventure and I’m hoping you’ll go on that adventure with me. Will you marry me?"

There was a slight pause. Lainey’s breath caught in her lungs. Surely the woman was going to say yes. As the moment stretched on, Lainey began to worry. She was going to say yes, wasn’t she?

Welcome to the Takeover + Review Blitz for The Vanished by Cara Putman hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book:

Title:   The Vanished 

Series:   Secrets to Keep #1 

Author:   Cara Putman 

Publisher:   Kregel Publications 

Release Date:   April 16, 2024 

Genre:   Christian Mystery & Suspense

Janae Simmons left the small town of Kedgewick, Virginia, ten years ago to pursue her legal career and never looked back--until a professional mistake leads her to her grandmother's historic carriage house and to the town where her past threatens to find her. The quiet streets echo with her grandfather's sterling reputation, one that conflicts with fresh questions that claw at Janae, launching her on a reluctant journey to unearth his secrets. When her new job at a local law firm doesn't live up to expectations, she wonders if coming home was the right decision.

Carter Montgomery starts his art preservation career with the only job he can get--director at the Elliott Museum of Art. At least Kedgewick is a nice enough town to provide him and his nephew with a safe place to grieve the loss of Carter's sister. But Carter's calm days disappear when an elderly woman claims two paintings in the museum's collection were stolen from her family during World War II. 

Carter enlists Janae's help to unravel the legal labyrinth of art ownership, and the peaceful facade of Kedgewick morphs into a hot bed of secrets. When an attorney turns up dead and Janae uncovers another painting, what began as a simple legal issue spirals into a race against time. As the web of intrigue tightens, the duo must confront a looming question: What dark truths lie beneath the surface, waiting to be exposed? 

"Putman's legal expertise shines in this compelling and intricately plotted romantic suspense. Highly recommended!" --Colleen Coble, USA Today best-selling author 

"Cara Putman has once again created an exciting cast of characters. I was immediately drawn in by Janae and Carter's unique chemistry. This is one story you don't want to miss." --Rebecca Hemlock, award-winning author of Fury in the Shadows

EXCERPT:

She spent the short drive into downtown Kedgewick clearing her mind and steeling herself for the night. If she pretended she were about to enter the courtroom rather than an art gallery, maybe it wouldn’t feel so excruciating to wonder what the people who knew her as a teen thought of her now. It shouldn’t matter, but she’d left Kedgewick all those years ago to get a fresh start, and many might delight that she’d returned. And now she found that the in-your-face antagonism of the courtroom was preferable to the hidden barbs of “friends.” Still, part of her wished she were parking near the courthouse rather than on the edge of Monroe College. The courtroom had become her second home in the five years since law school. She hadn’t darkened the doors of Monroe College’s museum since finishing an art appreciation paper during Thanksgiving break of her junior year at Purdue. It felt like a lifetime ago, but the Virginia-limestone facade of the three-story museum sat unchanged, with couples walking up the steps and across the covered portico to the double doors. Now she was headed to some fancy event here—something she’d never done before. Light spilled from the museum each time one of the large front doors opened.
