Heaven's Prey (Redemption's Edge #1) Expanded Anniversary Edition

By Janet Sketchley

Description:

**Expanded Anniversary Edition**
(originally published in 2013)

High octane Christian suspense meets women’s fiction in this battle of wits between the prayer warrior and the fallen hero.

Ruth Warner is broken. Her adult niece’s violent death at the hands of a serial rapist-murderer leaves her bitter. Tempted to reject her faith, Ruth instead finds healing through praying for the victims’ families. But pray for the predator himself? Never. Until she does—and then a botched kidnapping pegs her as his next victim.

Harry Silver is a champion race car driver gone wrong. His crimes destroyed innocent lives and shattered his career. Stuck with this middle-aged captive instead of the girl who fuelled his passions, Harry vows to make Ruth pay. For being the wrong woman—and for being a Christian.

Harry has no idea he’s stumbled into a battle for his soul—a soul he’s sure is not worth saving.

Ruth has invested too many prayers and tears to give up now. Not when his coming to faith is the only way to save her life.

Note: This book contains scenes that may be triggering for readers who have experienced or have a strong fear of sexual violence.

Whatever happens, Jesus will be there.

Why the author wrote this book:

Most readers won't be in a situation as dangerous as the heroine's. Yet many of us know grief, anger, disappointments, and questions that tempt us to doubt God. This expanded anniversary edition allows me to explore more of the heroine's experience and choices before she meets the serial killer. About the original story premise: it's one thing to pray for an offender locked away in jail, but what would you do if you met the person face to face? Once that idea hit me, it wouldn't go away, and the characters of Ruth and Harry took up residence in my imagination. Essentially, I started writing their story to get them out of my head.
