      LAWMAN TO THE RESCUE

      Who placed the bomb under schoolteacher Tess Collins’s classroom desk—and why? There’s only one man who can save Tess—SWAT cop Declan Shaw. Her survival depends on him defusing the bomb and protecting her from an unknown enemy. He can’t afford to be distracted by the alluring beauty who was his onetime high school crush. But keeping her safe soon becomes more than just a job for the highly trained explosives expert. And it’ll take all his professional skills to catch the madman targeting Tess before it’s too late.

      SWAT: TOP COPS—Love in the line of duty

      The force of the blast sent Declan flying backward against the pavement.

      The breath was knocked from his lungs and for a moment he couldn’t draw in any air. Smoke filled the area around them and pain reverberated through his body.

      After a few seconds his military survival instincts, along with a healthy dose of adrenaline, kicked in and he rolled over and belly-crawled toward Tess, who was sprawled on the ground just a few feet away.

      “Tess! Are you all right?”

      She let out a low moan and lifted a hand to her head. “Hurts,” she whispered.

      “Stay down,” he ordered, covering her body with his as much as possible. He had no way of knowing if the explosion was only a precursor to more violence or not, but he wasn’t taking any chances.

      Not when Tess’s life was at stake.

      “What happened?” she asked, her voice muffled against his chest.

      “Another bomb,” he said grimly.

      That had been way too close. Tess could have been seriously injured by the blast. And this latest turn of events only convinced him more that she was the specific target.

      LAURA SCOTT

      grew up reading faith-based romance books by Grace Livingston Hill, but as much as she loved the stories, she longed for a bit more mystery and suspense. She is honored to write for the Love Inspired Suspense line, where a reader can find a heartwarming journey of faith amid the thrilling danger.

      Laura lives with her husband of twenty-five years and has two children, a daughter and a son, who are both in college. She works as a critical-care nurse during the day at a large level-one trauma center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and spends her spare time writing romance.
