Web of Deceit by Kim Watters

Faith Callahan's life is falling apart. Her husband is missing and presumed dead, returning to her childhood home doesn't promise the peace and tranquility she craves for herself and her son, and her father's hardware store is on the brink of bankruptcy. To top it all off, someone is watching her, breaking into her home and work, and making threatening phone calls. The only person she can trust besides God to help her is the man who was both her and her late husband's best friend-the three amigos in high school.

And then there were two. Or were there? Sheriff's deputy Adam Quinn needs to find out if his friend is dead, or just gone into hiding waiting to make contact with his wife. In order to find out so Adam can bring the suspected gun smuggler to justice, he needs to get close to his best friend's widow-the only woman he's ever loved. The deception grates on Adam's spiritualism and soul as his heart falls for Faith all over again, but he has a duty to uphold the law and protect the town's citizens.

When Faith and Adam meet again, their friendship rekindles on a deeper, more emotional level. Will Faith allow Adam back into her life after her disastrous first marriage full of lies and deceit? Will Adam risk his career to win woman he loves? Will Faith and Adam put their complete trust in God and let him guide them through these dangerous times?

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

WEB OF DECEIT is a story about letting go, moving on and finding the strength to accept and forgive.

Faith and Steve married because her religious beliefs didn't allow abortion. Once their son was born, any relationship they had disintegrated. Faith and Matthew, her son, make a new life for themselves while Steve finds his own way toward the future.

Kim Watters has written a finely woven tale of faith, life and the tenacity that dwells within us. Faith is a woman who is smart enough to be able to stand back and examine who she is, who she once was, and to plan where she intends to go. These characters are well written and realistic, especially Faith's son whose typical kid behavior made me laugh out loud. Although the dialogue falters in spots, the story moves forward at an easy pace.

I enjoyed reading WEB OF DECEIT and look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
