Eyes of a Stranger
After being chased off the highway by a maniac for no discernible reason, then stranded in the snow on the wilderness road she took to evade him, how can Melanie Harris not fall for the handsome and caring man who rescues her from an icy death? Living life focused on her job as a chemical engineer, yet yearning to discover a sublime love despite making no time for it, it's as if she's conjured the physical manifestation of her prayers. Add to that his intriguingly mysterious air. Can a guy get any sexier? But when Mel's life is threatened a second time and Mark Fereshta inexplicably reappears to save her, the coincidences seem too contrived.
Mark Fereshta is a man of unwavering confidence, diligence and duty. When he accepts an assignment, he completes it proficiently and without question. But this task is different, and its outcome undetermined. There are reasons for keeping Mel alive, but even he doesn't know what they are. And when her ultimate purpose is fulfilled, Mark will once again be asked to act without question or hesitation.
Who is out to kill Mel? And why? When the truths are revealed, she will discover that nothing and no one is what she thought. Where now can she place her faith? In what should she believe? Is Mark really all that he seems, all that Mel needs him to be? Her very life will depend on it.

About the author
Annette Francine
2 books2 followersAnnette Francine resides in the metropolitan Phoenix area. After writing romantic suspense intended for traditional publishers, but unable to suppress the Christian themes and sensuous details that continued to persist in her stories, she fully subjected herself to her muse.
While she hopes her readers find her stories both encouraging and uplifting, plot details include adult language and explicit sexual content. Her characters do not always portray and should not be expected to always reflect good examples of Christian behavior nor her own attitudes. Like so many of us, her characters make mistakes, but ultimately triumph in the end through faith.
It is important to the author to help others and improve the circumstances of those in need. At least half of the proceeds from her novels are donated to Care, St Mary's Food Bank, and the Wounded Warriors Project.

'I received this book from the author in return of an honest review.'
Annette Francine has done it again! I must say, I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't read it myself, but this book was even better than the first one I read, 'From the Shadows'. It was full of suspense, twists and turns, uncertainty, true friendship and the sweetest and purest love to exist...a true love. I found my heart melting on several occassions through this book and even cried a bit in places. It definitely kept me on the edge of my seat with 'Who did it?', but it also engulfed me with a whole other side of the story to find out, 'What is my purpose?' That is one of the things I love so much about Annette Francine stories, there is always a purpose for everything. Which is just how GOD intended it. We weren't placed on this earth to just be here....each of us holds our very own purpose in life. That was portrayed so well in this story. I definitely loved everything about it as I found it was missing nothing. If I could give it more stars I would, but five is all that is available. So, I will make note here that in my book it is worth 10 stars. Thank you for writing this beautiful story Annette Francine...job well done.
