Fatal Frost by Nancy Mehl

Nancy Mehl has worked her way into my group of favorite authors. This is her newest book, Fatal Frost. This book keeps you in enough suspense to read quickly, but not so much as to push you away. Mercy Brennen is a US Marshal. She fights for justice. Mark is her past, her former love of her life. They came apart when Mark, who is also a Marshal, followed Christ and Mercy refused. Mark has long moved on, and who could blame him! He has had some added things in his life, like owning the place where Mercy lives, and being involved in a good many thing that connect him to her. None of them are going to pull them together or apart again like what is going on next.  

Tally is Mercy's BFF and partner on the force. Before we know it Tally and Mark have to try to keep Mercy from being killed by the mob in a case that killed her father, who as also law enforcement. Between drug dealers, a mole in the department, faith lost, and faith found, forgiveness and anger, is a really brisk story that I enjoyed. 

My copy came from Bethany House. I have left this review of my own free volition. I was not required to do so. My thoughts and opinions are my own. 

About

Following in her absentee father's footsteps in a law enforcement career, U.S. Marshal Mercy Brennan has just recovered from being shot in the line of duty. And, unbeknownst to her, her father's recent reappearance in her life has put her in the sights of St. Louis's most powerful gang. Her boss assigns Deputy U.S. Marshal Mark St. Laurent--Mercy's ex-boyfriend--to get her out of town until her safety can be guaranteed.

Unaware of the extent her boss and Mark have been keeping her in the dark, it isn't until a freak ice storm strands them at a remote location and out of contact with the district office that the full severity of their situation becomes clear. As the storm worsens, the forces of nature combine with a deadly enemy to put them in great danger. Can they survive long enough for help to arrive--if help is even coming at all?
