Masterful. Gut-punching. Impossible to put down. Master storyteller Cara Putman delivers a perfectly paced, emotionally compelling thriller that exposes evil, honors survivors, and still somehow leaves you believing grace can be found in even the most broken places. This is a must read!
– Colleen Coble
Putman not only crafts an intense legal drama wrought with suspense but delivers a deep look into the hearts of the players and the beautiful truth that God can heal even our greatest hurts. With a rich cast of characters, heart-pounding scenes, and a mystery that keeps you turning the pages, The Targeted is one thrilling ride readers won't want to miss.
– Susan L. Tuttle
Cara Putman delivers a satisfying legal drama laced with sweet romance. Ripped from headlines about scandals in elite sports and meticulously researched, The Targeted gets five enthusiastic stars from me.
– Jayna Breigh
Hold on tight! The Targeted offers a plot packed with twists and tumbles--and not just because of the gymnasts who star in it. Putman will have you turning the pages well into the night. This legal drama also delivers a message of hope for those maliciously targeted by people they should have been able to trust.

Description

Can she protect her gym students before her past catches up?

When Chloe Ainsworth’s older sister reappears after fourteen years, she brings with her the news that Chloe’s abuser is back in town. Chloe is a coach at her childhood gym and fiercely protective of her young gymnasts. She won’t allow them to suffer the way she did, but she’s desperate for an ally—one who can help her make her case.

Law student Dare Shepherd works at the local legal clinic, where he meets Chloe and hears her out. He believes her case but can’t get the clinic director on board. As he learns more about her story, he finds himself bound by a deepening personal care for Chloe.

They band together in search of answers, and suddenly the stakes skyrocket. It’s clear they’re onto something, but will they be able to find the answers before it’s too late?
