Breach of Trust / DiAnn Mills / 392 pages / Christ Award 2011

"Librarian Paige Rogers had survived more exciting days dodging bullets to protect her country. Given a choice, she'd rather be battling assassins than collecting overdue fines. For that matter, running down terrorists had a lot more appeal than running down lost books. Oh, the regrets of life...do-overs were impossible, and the adventures of her life were now alphabetically under fiction." Mikaela Olsson gave up her job as a CIA operative when Keary, a fellow CIA operative, threatened to kill her parents. Keary betrayed the African they were supposed to be protecting and was responsible for the bomb that killed him and 2 other operatives. While Mikaela was recovering from extensive injuries from the bomb, Keary filed his report saying that she had suffered a mental breakdown and had in fact caused the operative's deaths. For 7 years Paige has lived ber new life as librarian in a small town in Oklahoma. She is drawn to Miles, the high school football coach with a past of his own, but resists his advances to maintain her low profile and secrets. Keary is now running for governor of Oklahoma, still dabbling in international politics, and still causing death. Paige is pulled back into his web. Great read, especially appealing to librarians.
