Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Running for her life in the wake of her mother’s murder, Bailey Fleming escapes to the only place she can think of—a remote, dilapidated cabin in Lavender Tides. Intending to finally get to the truth behind the lies of her past, Bailey only finds more questions when bodies are discovered near her cabin hideout along with traces of a dangerous human trafficking ring. In an unlikely partnership with FBI agent Lance Phoenix, Bailey races to find the truth before the murderer tracks her down.

Meanwhile, Lance is determined to rescue his sister, Ava, who was abducted after running away from home as a teenager. An unexpected lead brings him to the remote cabin, and he wonders if Bailey—with her suspicious past and strange connections to his sister’s case—is really who she claims to be.


My Review:
Secrets at Cedar Cabin is a Christian romantic suspense novel. It's the third book in the series. While it can work as a stand-alone novel, the main characters from the previous books play a fairly large role in the current suspense story.

FBI agent Lance works to end human trafficking operations in his efforts to find his missing sister. Bailey's mother has been on the run Bailey's whole life, and now she's been murdered and Bailey shot at. The suspense came from the repeated attempts to kill or kidnap Bailey and the danger that Lance's sister was in as a high-class slave prostitute. The characters were engaging and acted realistically. I cared about what happened to them. Bailey struggled with trusting others because of all the lies that she's been told by the people she loved, but she's still very kind in how she interacts with others (especially elderly people).

The main characters prayed a couple "God, help me" type prayers. There were no sex scenes or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this exciting novel.
