A missing woman. Two hit men. When every second counts, who will survive?
In the stark but beautiful wilds of northern New Mexico, a couples’ retreat at a luxury resort turns into a chilling nightmare when a woman vanishes. Skip tracer Riley MacLeod and private investigator Greyson Chadwick pose as a couple to hunt for clues that might reveal the missing woman’s location. Those leads uncover a harrowing truth: They’re not the only ones looking for her. What begins as a normal tracking case turns into a deadly chase when they, too, become the hunted.
As Riley and Greyson work together, their partnership ignites a tumultuous attraction, but Greyson’s secrets prevent him from acting on his feelings for her, and Riley can’t bring herself to fully trust him. Delving deeper into the case, they find themselves fighting not only for justice and the chance at a loving relationship . . . but also for their very survival.

Summary
Two Seconds Too Late by Dani Pettrey is the second book in the Jeopardy Falls series. While it reads well as a standalone, I highly recommend starting with book one — both are compelling and worth the read.
This story centers on Riley, one of three siblings (two brothers and a sister) who are building a name for themselves as private investigators while still coping with the scars of a traumatic childhood. Riley’s journey takes center stage here, and it’s one full of heart, courage, and danger.
Pettrey masterfully blends romance, suspense, and action throughout the story. The chemistry between Riley and Greyson is a highlight — their undercover mission at a couples retreat leads to some truly sweet and charming moments. They’re both characters you can root for, and their relationship feels authentic and emotionally satisfying.
All in all, this is a strong, well-balanced romantic suspense novel that fans of the genre will definitely enjoy. I highly recommend.
