This bodyguard and his K-9
will do anything to uncover the truth.Stumbling upon a burning car and rescuing an injured woman wasn’t on bodyguard Caleb Miller’s vacation itinerary—nor were the gunmen who open fire on them. But Olivia Delaney has no memory of who she is or how she got there, only that she is under threat. Vowing to protect the woman in danger, Caleb and his K-9 go on the run with Olivia. As they work to stay a step ahead of her pursuers, they must untangle her past together…before her family’s deadly schemes bury them both.
From Love Inspired Suspense: Courage. Danger. Faith.
Dollycas’s Thoughts
Olivia Delaney came to California following her father’s death and stayed, taking an entry-level position in the family business, now being run by her half-brother. She soon noticed some irregularities and worked to find the proof. She intended to turn her evidence over to the authorities, but before she could, she was involved in a terrible accident and lost her memory.
Caleb Miller and his K-9, Ranger, were on vacation in the California desert after working on a harrowing case for Jameson Investigations, when he noticed “a plume of smoke… intruding on the wispy clouds dotting the cerulean sky”. Following the smoke, he finds a car on fire and an injured woman. He does call his boss for help, but before it arrives, two gunmen find them and open fire.
This sets off a chase across the country as Caleb tries to keep them alive, as Olivia tries to remember what got her into this mess in the first place.
Ms. Alexander’s characters literally hit the ground running, and they take us with them on a wild journey at high speed. From the desert of California to the swamps of Florida, this story is full of action and suspense.
It took Olivia a little time to trust Caleb, and he doubted her memory issues once or twice, but they quickly learned that they needed to lean on each other to survive and get someplace safe. The romance building between them was sweet, with more important emphasis on their safety. I appreciated how the author wove faith throughout the story naturally. Olivia was living a nightmare even before she lost her memory, but she leaned on her faith and became more and more courageous with each roadblock they encountered. Caleb was a hero and a caring, patient man with a great sense of humor. Amid scary situations and several injuries, they would take a beat, plan, and follow through. I was immediately invested in both Caleb’s and Olivia’s lives. And Ranger was a lovable, amazing, well-trained canine who wormed his way right into my heart.
Exposing Lethal Secrets is a thriller that you need to plan for before you start reading. It is a book that is impossible to put down. Courage. Danger. Faith. This story is action-packed, filled with suspense, a side of romance, a touch of humor, and inspiring messages of faith. I was up late thinking… just one more chapter… just one more chapter until I reached the final page. As the title states, the secrets are lethal. Add to that, the betrayal is real. I wanted to see justice. I wanted to see Olivia safe and happy. And I was going to sleep until my wants were fulfilled. Ms. Alexander blew me away with this one. For all those reasons, you will find Exposing Lethal Secrets on my best reads of 2025.

Great Escapes Praise for Exposing Lethal Secrets
by Deena Alexander
Bottom Line: Exposing Lethal Secrets by Deena Alexander is an action-packed suspense novel with layered characters (whom you’ll really enjoy getting to know) and a fresh & engaging take on the amnesia trope. I loved the sweet romance and the gentle notes of faith throughout, both of which, as well as some fun humor – provided momentary reprieves from the intensity of the suspense part of the plot.
~Reading Is My SuperPower
The story is interesting and the unfolding is well-paced. Olivia is both a strong woman and has her own baggage to deal with. Alexander did a great job of developing both these characters. I cheered them on as they both fought their demons and the bad guys.
~Christa Reads and Writes
