SPICY CHICKEN IN DANCING TOMATO SAUCE  
(
aka “Taco Chicken,” for the uninspired cook)  
Setting the Scene:  
Whitney Paige was on a mission to save her younger sister Morgan from religious  
fanaticism when she left her green Georgia home for the barren reaches of the Great  
Basin Desert in Nevada She arrived to find spicy taco chicken simmering on the stove—  
and Morgan missing. The zesty chicken in sauce was almost welcoming enough to soothe  
Whitney’s frayed temper from her first encounter with the arrogant, handsome Travis  
McLaughlin. Almost, but not quite.  
The mystery of Morgan’s disappearance deepens into the discovery of a years-old  
murder, a murderer, and Whitney’s need to make a life-changing choice: cling to her  
green heart shadow of self reliance or flee to the safety of the cross? Her search for  
Morgan leads her into a deserted mine tunnel with rattlesnakes and a human skeleton—  
and to the unwelcome realization that her feelings for Travis are pretty spicy themselves!  
Put this zesty fiesta celebration of chicken and tomato sauce on the stove to simmer, and  
then sit back and enjoy the Christian mystery/romance/suspense HEART SHADOWS.  
Excerpt from HEART SHADOWS:  
Room by room I investigated. They were all sparsely furnished and Morgan was  
not in any of them even though her car was in the drive. I pushed through swinging doors  
into the kitchen. A tossed green salad sat in the center of the table. The table was set for  
two. Chicken simmered in a spicy taco sauce on the stove. She must be close! I called  
again. No answer.  
I peeked into pans. Peas stuck to the bottom of a stainless steel pot. They had  
started to burn. I cut the flame and checked the other pan. Spaghetti sat in a white, pasty,  
lump. I frowned and turned it off, too. It wasn’t like Morgan to be so careless.
