Silenced is the fourth book in the Alaskan Courage series by Dani Pettrey.  The series centers around the McKenna family sibblings Cole, Book One, Piper, Book Two, Gage, Book Three, and Kayden, Book Four.  In Silenced, Kayden is pressed into investigating a mountain climbing accident-turned-murder with newly deputized Jake Cavanagh.  Their rocky history together is on the mend but both are vowing not to get "involved".  As their investigation progresses and the murderer turns on them, they realize their need for each other in order to overcome the enemy.  The fast moving action and surprise twists will hold the reader to the very end!
History and Romance
It is nearly impossible to survive as a woman in the wilderness in 1837 and yet, Amanda Pearson is not only a survivor but a Woman of Courage.  Wanda Brunstetter authors this novel revolving around the beautiful young Quaker and her father as they begin their 3000 mile quest to minister to the Nez Perce Indians.
They believe they are prepared for anything but what they do not count on is the death and near death experiences along the way.  Amanda almost gives up on reaching the Lap Valley Mission when handsome Buck McFadden agrees to escort her there and unknowingly begins a spiritual journey for them both.
