All that Kennedy Ryan wants is to adjust to her new life on her uncle’s ranch and move on from the death of her father. But her mother’s remarriage is not the only obstacle: a ruthless criminal and his gang are lurking near the peaceful town of Pine Lodge – and a local politician just might be secretly helping them. In order to solve the mystery, Kennedy must set aside her personal differences with a few of the other local kids – as well as put her trust in God and His providential protection.
Kennedy Ryan’s PTSD from running away from bank robbers and a crooked politician haunts her and her friends. And so does the threat of cattle rustlers lurking on her Uncle Oliver’s ranch. But who are the rustlers? The reporters who have come to town to investigate sightings of a supposed chupacabra near Pine Lodge? Or a seemingly nice visitor in town, whose daughter has befriended Gunnar Smith, with whom Kennedy is trying to steady a rocky relationship? Despite her traumatic memories, Kennedy is determined to solve the mystery of the cattle rustlers before her uncle is forced to sell his ranch – but she cannot do it without the stubborn Gunnar’s help.
Mystery and adventures follow Kennedy Ryan wherever she goes! Whether it’s hunting for long-lost treasures, surviving earthquakes or a volcano spewing its top, or fleeing from art thieves or a ring of counterfeiters hiding out in an underground town, Kennedy and her friends are always staying on top of new adventures in this collection of seven exciting novellas!
Kennedy Ryan is home for the summer, but she is anything but relaxed. She is suffering from traumatic memories, struggles in college, her growing feelings for Billy Weston.
The return of criminals from her past. And one traumatic memory that has long ceased to haunt her: the death of her father when she was a teenager.
Isaiah, Kennedy’s loving stepfather, has been poisoned. As he struggles for his life in the hospital, Kennedy struggles for her life against several of her old enemies who are bent on revenge. And Kennedy’s only hope might lie with a dubious benefactor: Maurice Carr, a man who was once a father figure to her but had betrayed her. Maurice insists that he wishes to prove himself to Kennedy and protect her. If she is to survive the schemes of the vengeful criminals, Kennedy must put aside her distrust of Maurice – and put her trust in God’s providential protection once more.
