No Child of Mine
When the remains of a young girl are found near the site of a foster child’s kidnapping, two colleagues risk their lives to bring one home and find justice for the other.
The day a colleague’s foster son is kidnapped at a wedding reception, homicide detectives Deborah Smith and Alex Luna find the remains of a little girl not far from the child’s abduction site. Determined to save the boy and solve a five-year-old murder, Deborah struggles to hang on to her newfound sobriety in the face of the pressure of her job and her past.
This fast-paced follow-up to Irvin’s debut romantic suspense novel, A Deadly Wilderness, will have readers rooting for justice, new-found love, and second chances.
Looking for strong female leads? These stories won’t disappoint!
Mystery, suspense, romance, and so much more
I love reading mysteries featuring characters (especially women) for whom I can root. That’s the kind of book I want to write. My name on a romantic suspense novel is synonymous with strong female characters, plenty of twists and turns, and a deeper theme intended to keep readers thinking about the story long after they close the book. About Trust Me, Publishers Weekly says, “Irvin follows the characters through twists and turns, writing through the lens of faith and broken faith, while illuminating a bridge across shattered relationships to second chances. This one’s an emotional roller-coaster.” That’s my goal–and my promise–with every story I write.

Wrap that inside a page-turning mystery and some sweet romance and it’s a story perfect for readers who love multiple threads.”
