A Sneak Peek & Giveaway

February 26, 2025 By Dani Pettrey

Hi friends! 

I’m SO excited to share here first….

Look what came in the mail!!! Advanced copies of Two Seconds Too Late! It releases at the end of April, so it was very exciting to hold a copy in my hands. I’ll be doing a special giveaway next week (when I’m back in town) for my newsletter subscribers, along with some really exciting news, so sign up if you haven’t already, or drop by one of my social media sites next week to enter.  

Two Seconds Too Late is the second book in my Jeopardy Falls series, following One Wrong Move, which you have time to read before Two Seconds Too Late launches, but I write my books so you don’t have to read them in order, but I know many prefer doing that. 

Jeopardy Falls follows the MacLeod family, and this book focuses on Greyson Chadwick and Riley MacLeod, the youngest in the family. Here’s how I picture them and a sneak peek at Riley and Greyson’s adventure.  

A missing woman. Two hit men. When every second counts, who will survive? 

In the stark but beautiful wilds of northern New Mexico, a couples’ retreat at a luxury resort turns into a chilling nightmare when a woman vanishes. Skip tracer Riley MacLeod and private investigator Greyson Chadwick pose as a couple to hunt for clues that might reveal the missing woman’s location. Those leads uncover a harrowing truth: They’re not the only ones looking for her. What begins as a normal tracking case turns into a deadly chase when they, too, become the hunted. 

As Riley and Greyson work together, their partnership ignites a tumultuous attraction, but Greyson’s secrets prevent him from acting on his feelings for her, and Riley can’t bring herself to fully trust him. Delving deeper into the case, they find themselves fighting not only for justice and the chance at a loving relationship . . . but also for their very survival. 

Dani Pettrey Hooks Readers With . . . 


“A fast-paced, thrilling ride. Readers of Lynette Eason and Colleen Coble will enjoy.”–Library Journal starred review on One Wrong Move
“Romance that’s as thrilling as the action, and faithful characters integrated seamlessly into a complex web of crime.”–Booklist on The Killing Tide 

“This action-packed romantic suspense novel is the second in Dani Pettrey’s Jeopardy Falls series. Filled with crime and spy investigations, this clean Christian thriller will appeal to fans of Mission: Impossible, Lynette Eason, and Irene Hannon.” ~Cokebury 


I hope you’ll check out Greyson and Riley’s story. And, be sure to keep an eye out next week for the giveaway. I’ll be giving away three copies and these cute bookmarks. 

Have a blessed week. 

Dani
