Caroline Delaney has the perfect life.

She and her husband, Jack, run a successful art and antiques brokerage. They live in an amazing, historic brownstone in Brooklyn. And they are both eager to start a family.

But Caroline’s lost memories from a recent accident on her husband’s freighter ship is a constant source of frustration.

And the strange dreams she’s been having lately about a woman named Sam have vexed her.

When she meets a beautiful—but crazy—man who claims to have an explanation for her lost memories, she has to decide if he’s telling the truth, or if she’s the victim of a cruel deception as their worlds collide. What is real?

•••

Ben is doing everything he possibly can to not fall apart in the aftermath of Sam’s kidnapping.

He’s prepared to leave no resource untapped to track her down and take her back from Henry, as he promised.

His persistence knows no limits when it comes to reuniting with his wife. But when he gets arrested for Sam’s murder—her decomposed body having been found in a rural Maryland field—his hopes are shattered into a million pieces and he loses his will to live.

Until his dad and grandfather visit him in prison, bringing him news that Sam’s death may not be what it seemed. That’s the catalyst he needs to renew his determination.

•••

Is Ben able to bring Sam back; not only for himself, but for her? Will Henry finally be brought to justice? Find out in the thrilling conclusion of The Evangeline Series.

    I got a paperback copy of this book as a gift for my birthday, and I’m happy to say I loved it! I appreciated all the character development for the protagonist; I felt like I was settling in for a long series to come. The ending definitely left me wanting more!

  • YvetteWill leave you anxiously wanting to read the second!

    The books I read are self help books, and for a while I had been wanting to pick up a fiction book, so I was pretty excited to read this book, and it did not disappoint. Right away I got lost in the book. Fell in love with the characters and was intrigued by the case!!

    I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

  • Trinity WaddellReview through Voracious Readers Only

    Thought this book was gripping and interesting until the end. I was disappointed with the ending. It ended so suddenly with questions left unanswered but look forward to seeing what happens next. Sam is a fabulous character. My favourite type- a strong woman who knows what she wants in life. Ben, well, I can't decide if I like him or not. He seems like a bit of a jerk. I liked the touch of faith in the story. An enjoyable read.

  • Joni TruexGood suspense story

    Persist is an interesting story with a strong protagonist. Intelligent, beautiful and complicated describe her. There is suspense, mystery, romance and intrigue. I liked the quick pace, the characters and plot. Warning: Language and mild sexual content. The cliffhanger ending has me looking forward to the rest of the story.

  • MoniqueThriller keeps you guessing

    If you love a procedural thriller I’d recommend picking this one up. Gripping from the first twist. Give this indie author a try.
