    FOR NOW is book #7 in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestseller Once Gone (a free download) has received over 7,000 five star ratings and reviews.
    
    Superstar FBI Agent Morgan Cross was at the height of her career when she was framed, wrongly imprisoned, and sent to do 10 hard years in prison. Finally exonerated and set free, Morgan emerges from jail as a changed person—hardened, ruthless, closed off to the world, and unsure how to start again. When the FBI comes knocking, desperately needing Morgan to return and hunt down a killer who seems to be obsessed with drowning, Morgan is torn. 
    
    Morgan is not the same person, no longer willing to play by the rules, and will stop at nothing this time. In a non-stop thriller, it will be a deadly cat and mouse chase between a diabolical killer and an ex-con FBI agent who has nothing left to lose—with a new victim’s fate riding on it all.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
        Readers embark on a heart-pounding journey that weaves together themes of survival, justice, and the unwavering resilience of the human spirit. This gripping narrative centers around Commander Robert Brown, a highly esteemed African-American Navy SEAL, who makes the momentous decision to retire from his illustrious career and reconnect with his beloved Uncle Pete in Jackson, Mississippi. However, fate has a different plan in store for him, thrusting him into a spine-tingling fight for survival against an evil group of Ku Klux Klan members who hunt black men for sport. 
         As the story unfolds, readers are simultaneously immersed in two parallel narratives. Special Agent Smith, Uncle Pete's former partner, joins forces with Uncle Pete to locate his missing nephew, newly retired Navy SEAL Commander Robert Brown. Both men unravel and expose the sinister workings of this malevolent group within the seemingly idyllic town of Rolling Hills, Mississippi. Meanwhile, Commander Brown, finding himself hunted by members of the Klan in the remote forests of Rolling Hills, must draw upon his exceptional tactical prowess, combat skills, and survival expertise to turn the tables on his pursuers. 
         What follows is an exhilarating game of cat and mouse, as Commander Brown cunningly uses his training and instincts to transform the unsuspecting racists into unwitting prey. Armed with the knowledge of their twisted game and fueled by his own unyielding determination, this decorated war hero becomes a force to be reckoned with. In a relentless pursuit of justice and vengeance, Commander Brown systematically eliminates his opposition, one by one, in a series of thrilling and gruesome confrontations.
