Ripples Amanda McNeill

Neither Mallory nor Jordan want to give up on their relationship. They agree to see each other in an attempt to restore what they once had. Mallory knows Jordan would marry her in a heartbeat, but she isn't sure she wants another marriage. She enjoys what they have and is unwilling to relinquish her independence. Mallory has learned that her mother is alive and she has family she never knew existed. The bogus ministry that has plagued Prairie Hill has sold its property. Mallory and the Fogartys celebrate, assuming the sect is leaving the city. But threats and harassment continue. Mallory receives a fake bomb at her store, and a major bridge in the city is destroyed. Mallory and the Fogartys ponder what drives men to commit heinous acts. Will Mallory ever be safe? Jordan is threatened at work; the husband of Mallory's store manager is shot trying to disarm a gunman at his school. Can the violence be ascribed to the sect? What would Mallory have to sacrifice to marry Jordan?
