Seconds to Live by Susan Sleeman

When cybercriminals hack into the US Marshals' Witness Protection database and auction off witnesses' personal details to the highest bidders, the RED Team led by FBI Agent Sean Nichols begins a high-stakes chase to find the hacker. But before he can even get started, the first witness is targeted and barely escapes with her life. Sean believes Phantom, an obsessed hacker who previously outwitted the top minds in the field, is behind the attack, and Sean needs this witness's help, as she's the person who has come closest to discovering Phantom's identity.

Trouble is, she's a witness under the care of US Marshal Taylor Mills, and Sean is reluctant to work with the captivating marshal who knows his deepest secrets. But Phantom claims he knows where the witness is hiding and will kill her, so to stop the hacker, Sean and Taylor must work through their personal pain and learn to trust each other. . . . The seconds are ticking down before someone dies.

Sean and Taylor have never met in person but they have had an e-mail relationship where they have connected.  When Sean needs help with a person that is in witness protection, he discovers that Taylor is in charge of her.  

I'm not sure how to review this book.  I liked it and it kept me guessing.  I've read most of Ms. Sleeman's books and have enjoyed this one.  The story was great and the mystery wasn't solved until the end of the book.  But I think there was too much internal reflections.  I skipped some of that as it seemed repetitive.  I recommend this book for those who like a great mystery.

I was given this book by Bethany House Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
