About the Book Jonas

Series: The Minnesota Marshalls #2
Publisher: SDG Publishing
Release Date: April 4, 2023
Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense

Jonas Marshall is done storm-chasing, plagued with the memory of a terrible accident that paralyzed a fellow chaser, so the last thing he’s going to do is run into more danger. Now, he’s just a simple weatherman deploying dirigibles in an experiment to track weather patterns in Slovenia.

As far from danger as he can get.

But danger comes knocking in the form of a hiker in need of rescue, and he can’t deny that her companion—beautiful Sibba Kovac—is a great distraction from the guilt that haunts him…until she paraglides right out of his life.

Probably for the best.

But danger still won’t leave him alone when a storm knocks his dirigibles out of the sky, and he happens upon one that looks tampered with…

It is.

And worse, it’s carrying what could be a radioactive waste. At least according to EOD expert Sibba…who finds herself face-to-face with the rescuer she can’t forget. But she’s not looking for him—her grandfather is missing, and she’ll stop at nothing to find him.

When her missing grandfather leads to the threat of a dirty bomb, she’s the only one who can stop it. And Jonas is the only man brave enough to run into danger with her. But she doesn’t have room in her heart to love him—not when she lives with death in her periphery. Can the right man, at the right time help her see beyond her fears to a future?

And if they have a chance to save the world, can Jonas let go of the woman he loves?

The thrilling second book in the epic romantic suspense of the Minnesota Marshalls!

About the Author of Jonas

I can’t help but be amazed at the gifts God has delighted me with – a wonderful husband, four amazing children, and the opportunity to write for Him.

I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember – I won my first book writing contest in first grade! Over the years, writing has become, for me, a way to praise God and see Him at work in my life.

Although I have a degree in Mass Communications from the University of MN, my real writing experience started when I penned The Warren Report – a bi-monthly newsletter that detailed our ministry highlights.

Living in Russia meant I never lacked for great material – and those experiences naturally spilt out first into devotionals and magazine articles and finally into my first published story, “Measure of a Man,” in the Tyndale/HeartQuest, Chance Encounters of the Heart anthology.

Susan and her husband grew up in Wayzata, a suburb of Minneapolis, and became an avid camper from an early age. My favorite fir-lined spot is the north shore of Minnesota – it’s where I met my husband, honeymooned and dreamed of living. The north woods easily became the foundation for my first series, The Deep Haven series which is based on a little tourist town along the shores of Lake Superior. I have to admit – I’m terribly jealous of Mona, the heroine of my first full-length book, Happily Ever After, a Christy Award Finalist published in 2004 with Tyndale/Heartquest.

Our family moved home from the mission field in June 2004 — and now we live in the beautiful town I’d always dreamed of! God has amazed me anew with His provision, and blessings — and allowed me a season when I can write full-time for Him.

I’m delighted you’ve stopped in to visit.

My hope is that you’ll be blessed and encouraged by soul-stirring stories of regular people interacting with a God who loves them.

My Thoughts on Jonas

I was hooked on this series from the start of the first book.  Okay, if I’m honest I’ve read the other Marshall series and knew that I’d have to read this one too.  I’ve been hooked for a long time.  This author is amazing at bringing her characters to life and making her stories flow so that there is never a good stopping point. 

If you have not read book one in the series, stop!  I mean it!  Stop!  Don’t read this book first.  You should read them in order.  Book One starts the story and Book Two continues it.  Also, I am slightly upset that I am having to wait on book three as I wanted to start it already.  That said, I suppose you could read this as a stand-alone novel.  But why would you want to?  There is so much extra to be learned and known!

Okay, I’m done.

Jonas follows Jonas who is the brother who chases storms.  He lives on the edge.  But lately, he won’t allow anyone to get close to him because he thinks he almost caused his friend to die.  Now he works alone.  Or so he thinks.  Until one of his balloons is hijacked and danger starts to follow him everywhere.  

Can he figure out who stole his balloon and keep them from getting another and dropping more radioactive waste on innocent civilians?  And can he keep Sibba safe?  Will they find her grandfather?

Add in a brother with some issues of his own popping in and some not-happily-ever-after moments.  It’s going to keep you reading and wanting more!
