In this heartfelt episode, Kelly had the absolute joy of chatting with Laura Conaway—author of gripping romantic suspense and the woman behind the inspiring tagline “Triumph through Trials.” We dove into her newest release Rescue Duty, a powerful story filled with danger, redemption, and a second-chance romance between a fire and rescue squad member and an investigative reporter with a shared past.

Laura opened up about her writing journey, her time with Sunrise Publishing under the mentorship of Lisa Phillips, and how her stories are deeply rooted in Scripture and led by the Holy Spirit. She also shared the emotional inspiration behind her foster care storyline and how a red thread led her straight to Jesus. If you’re a fan of suspenseful stories woven with faith, hope, and healing, you don’t want to miss this one!

    Bible Verse for Encouragement

    1 Corinthians 15:56-57 (NKJV)
    “The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

    Laura’s New Book: Rescued Duty

    After growing up in foster care, investigative reporter Naya Michél has learned there’s usually more to a situation than meets the eye. When she’s assigned a story about the current water contamination crisis in town, Naya is ready to show her boss she has what it takes to secure a promotion—especially since the events surrounding the story have personal ties to her childhood. When her investigation makes her the target of someone who wants the truth kept quiet, how far will Naya’s determination take her before the cost becomes too much?

    Rescue Squad firefighter and former foster kid Zack Stephens is ready to step up his game at work when his boss hands him a cold case for hazmat training. As Zack delves into the case, he uncovers a shocking revelation—his parents’ deaths weren’t accidental. Determined to find their murderer, Zack throws himself into the investigation. But he doesn’t expect his search to collide with Naya, the girl he promised to protect when they lived in foster care together.

    As threats mount and Naya is caught in the crosshairs, can Zack reconcile the mistakes of his past and find a killer before someone deals a lethal blow? And can the two of them learn to trust—and love—each other again despite the pain of their past?
