About The Book

Vanessa Nord has kept her life carefully contained… until one evening at dusk, when she realizes she’s being followed through the trees. Fear takes hold as she runs, branches scraping her arms, until Bret Forrester appears out of the shadows. A man with secrets of his own, Bret offers shelter and a promise of safety, but trusting him means facing fears she’s long buried. As they flee along back roads and past abandoned barns, every mile brings new threats: hidden eyes tracking their every move, the weight of secrets neither can leave behind.
Bret is trained to keep a distance, but Vanessa’s fierce courage and gentle humor chip away at his walls. They share small moments that feel almost impossible—a hurried cup of coffee at a gas station counter, a soft laugh under the dim glow of a street lamp—each one forging a bond neither expected.
Still, danger presses in from all sides. Vanessa must decide if she can trust a stranger with her life, and Bret must choose whether protecting her means finally facing his own past. Divine Timing is a tense, page‑turning journey of survival and hope, where unexpected connections can light the way through the darkest night.
