Nine Minutes Before

A Moose. A Stranger. Nine Minutes That Changed Everything.

When widowed graphic designer Emily Larson pulls over to help a stranger whose SUV hit a moose on a frozen Montana highway, she doesn't expect him to be a billionaire with a dead father, a criminal empire to dismantle, and a vendetta eighteen years in the making.

Nathan Caldwell has spent his entire adult life building toward one goal: destroying the man who murdered his father. But the moment Emily enters his world, his carefully constructed walls begin to crack — and so does the surveillance network watching her every move.

When Nathan's team traces a mysterious phone call made nine minutes before Emily's husband's fatal car crash, the connection between their worlds becomes impossible to ignore. Jacob's death was no accident. And the man responsible is the same enemy Nathan has been hunting since he was twenty-two.

As Emily transforms from bystander to operative — building the data weapon that could bring down a criminal empire — she'll have to decide how much of her carefully rebuilt life she's willing to risk. And when a ghost from her past resurfaces, everything she thought she knew about love, loss, and loyalty will be rewritten.

Nine Minutes Before is a standalone romantic suspense about love, loss, and the phone call that changes everything. Perfect for readers who love Kristin Hannah's emotional depth, Karen White's suspense, and Alice Hoffman's atmospheric storytelling.
