She thought it was a road trip adventure...

...He figured it was the perfect opportunity.

But her stalker was on the road to retaliation, and she was his destination.

Relocation specialist Allie Ellis's neatly ordered life is turned upside down by the reappearance of her old teen crush. And somehow he's been recruited to join her family's planned road trip.

Detective Steve Collins never got over the girl he let get away in high school. Now they are thrown together by mutual friends.

And he's not about to let her go without a second chance.

But a thwarted felon has mapped out plans of his own, marking more than caution signs around each bend.

Have Allie and Collins found each other only to discover another detour? A fatal one, over a cliff?

Off the Map, the first book in the new spin-off series In the Shadow, is Christian romantic suspense at its best. If you loved the Hometown Heroes series, you will love this page-turner because this trip packs excitement to the final page.
