When Secrets Come Calling
When former University of Alabama and Titans wide receiver Dax Carpenter learns his father is accused of a forty-year-old robbery and murder, he turns to the only person he trusts to discover the truth: his ex-girlfriend, Caitlin Fitzhugh.
Caitlin, a cold-case specialist with the Alabama State Division of Investigations, wants nothing to do with the case or Dax. Not only is the evidence against Dax’s father already condemning, she can’t risk having her heart broken—again.
Caitlin’s boss, however, ignores her arguments and orders her to take the consult. She convinces herself she can keep the case and her past with Dax separate. But unlike her, longings and memories don’t follow orders. While she lends her skills to the Gulf Shores Police Department in search of the truth, Dax fends off a possibly career-ending social media hit—leading him to question everything he knows about his father … and himself.
As the secrets of both their pasts unfold, they discover whether Dax’s father truly robbed and murdered a man forty years ago but also why Caitlin ended their relationship. And those secrets could drive a wedge between them, forever.
- Felicia Ferguson’s "When Secrets Come Calling" is every bit as good as her award-winning debut novel, “The Choices She Made.” This is the kind of story you can’t put down—the tug of the truth will keep you wondering until the last page. A testimony to being truthful and doing the right thing, When Secrets Come Calling is a love story wrapped up in a tough crime case. As sweet as an Alabama summer and as gut-wrenching as a coastal hurricane, this one is a keeper. –Lenora Worth (USA Today bestselling author of Disappearance in Pinecraft)
- “It’s exciting. It’s original. It’s unique. The characters are amazing.” –DiAnn Mills (CBA and ECPA bestselling author of Facing the Enemy)
- Set in a beautiful coastal area with engaging characters, When Secrets Come Calling provides not only an entertaining read, but food for thought. While we all say we want the truth, what if we don’t like what secrets reveal? Or what if we never learn the truth? –Alice Hale Murray (attorney and author)
- I had my head stuck in this book for the entire evening and simply could not put it down. It was a powerful story of how fragile life can be, and how fragile relationships can be as well.–escapetobooks1503 (bookstagrammer)
- “What I love is these characters end up turning to God in those desperate moments of trying to figure out which direction to go … how to handle the secret that came up, or trying to deal with the past trauma ... It is wrestling through the issues that we’re actually wrestling through in every day life.”–Catherine Segars, Christian Parent/Crazy World podcast
