Author: Gail Pallotta

Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense

Release date: August 21, 2024

After Emily Hanover’s left standing at the altar in Blue Mountain, North Carolina, she goes to Sky High Campground to put her life back together. Because it’s February and few people come here this time of year, she’s alone on the premises. When noises in the middle of the night frighten her, she gathers her courage and peeks outside. A man carrying a body over his shoulder emerges from the dark shadows onto her front yard. Horrified, she collapses onto the floor.

The next morning, she visits ex-military officer turned security guard, Nick Lancaster. He listens intently to Emily, but dismisses her claim of foul play as a hunter carrying a deer. Finally, after he sees a freshly dug hole in Emily’s yard and finds two more in the woods, he agrees—there’s suspicious activity. Then he and Emily embark on a mission exposing murder and a far-reaching sinister plot, neither suspecting danger can bring romance.

More from Gail

The story behind Hidden Danger started with my love of mysteries and suspense, which began many years ago when I discovered Nancy Drew. Then I wanted to become a detective. That didn’t happen, but I turned my heroine, Emily Hanover, and the hero, Nick Lancaster, into amateur sleuths.

The granddaughter of a minister who planted churches in the far reaches of the Western North Carolina Mountains, I grew up at the foothills of them. As I pondered the setting for a good mystery, the area with lots of underbrush and caves offered opportunities for suspenseful scenes.

Emily works as a newspaper reporter, a job similar to one I had in a public relations department under a retired Associated Press guy. My husband was in the military. After all these years of marriage, I’m familiar with that type of personality, so Nick is an ex-military guy turned security guard.

Emily goes to the campground to find peace and comfort after she was left standing at the altar  on her wedding day. To say she has a chip on her shoulder over men is an understatement. The only true love Nick ever had died while he was overseas. Guilt because he couldn’t be by her side plagues him. He believes he’ll never love another.

Emily meets Nick because her first night at the campground, she sees a man carrying a dead body. Or, does she? Thus, a mystery in the Western North Carolina Mountains begins.

Interview with the Author

1)What inspired this book?

When a subject keeps popping in my thoughts, I usually end up writing about it. Sometimes I put up a blog or a post. Other times, I start a new book. Before I wrote Hidden Danger I kept thinking the world would be a better place if everyone knew the love of Jesus. I ended up with a novel with a discipleship theme.

2)What is your favorite Bible verse or life verse?

Actually, a bit more than one. Matthew 22: 37 – 39: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”

3)What is your vacation spot?

Destin, Florida. Each time I leave I can’t wait to return to the emerald water and white sand. We like to go in May and September to enjoy the balmy breezes that time of year. A bargain shopper, I enjoy going in the outlet stores there. We also look forward to having lunch or dinner by the sea.

4)What are you reading right now?

I’m enjoying Secrets of Misty Hollow by my publisher, Cynthia Hickey.

5)If you could have one book or piece of art or music on a deserted island, what would it be and why?

“How Great Thou Art” sung by Elvis Presley. It reminds me God’s all powerful, all knowing and all present. With Him nothing is impossible, and His love endures forever.
