Christian Romantic Suspense. Book 2 in the “Bite of Betrayal” Series. To be published June 5, 2025 by Mountain Brook Ink.
“When aspiring author Sophie Brooks chooses to trade a vibrant Paris life for the tranquility of a quaint English village, she imagines her final days in the City of Lights will be magical. Sophie doesn’t anticipate a chilling encounter with an old flame—nor does she plan to find a new love on her very last night.
Miles Morgan’s life has been defined as a successful opera singer-until now. His chance encounter with Sophie in Paris ignites renewed hope … if he can figure out his next chapter and if she can accept what his future may hold.
In the heart of the English countryside, Sophie and Miles’ fairy tale romance turns into a noxious nightmare as the darkness of Sophie’s past—and her volatile ex—catch up with her. Both Sophie and Miles must surrender everything to the One they thought had betrayed them as they lean into love and fight for their lives.”

Sarah Hamaker, award-winning author of The Cold War Legacy and The Seeking Justice series
“Author Laura Thomas has penned a tale that is, at times, as chilling and suspenseful as the title suggests. At its heart, though, it is author Sophie Brooks’ own love story—with Miles, the opera singer who sweeps her off her feet, the sisters with whom she longs to reconnect, and, above all, the God who is wooing her back to Him. Get comfortable because, once you start this one, you’ll be turning pages well into the night, desperate to find out who will end up having The Final Word.”
