The First Choice

PROJECT SENTINEL Book One Sarah Whitlock doesn't know she's being hunted. An elementary school teacher and widowed mother, Sarah is simply trying to build a quiet life for herself and her young son. She doesn’t realize that one forgotten moment six months ago has made her the lone witness to a conspiracy powerful enough to destroy anyone who notices. Before Sarah ever suspects danger, Project Sentinel already does. Led by former military investigator Owen Hale, Project Sentinel is a quiet organization devoted to one mission: protecting those with nowhere else to turn. Alongside behavioral analyst Ellie Bennett and steadfast ally Marcus “Mac” Calloway, Owen races to shield Sarah from a powerful defense contractor who believes the sacrifice of an innocent is justified. Hidden away for her own safety, Sarah must work through the mounting psychological terror and piece together her own memories. Together with Ellie's psychological insights, they must relentlessly dig into Sarah's past to figure out exactly what she saw before the looming threat becomes a violent reality. As the conspiracy closes in, Owen must choose between what is easy and what is just. For Project Sentinel, the mission is always the same: Ensure that the vulnerable make it home.
