Blind Man's Bluff

by Nancy J. Farrier

When danger strikes, trust is their only shield.

He’s built walls to protect his daughter—and his heart. She’s the one woman who can break through them.


When Kane Security cofounder, Vanessa Taylor, accepts an assignment to protect a tech billionaire’s daughter, she expects a quiet job in a secure mansion. But when intruders strike in the dead of night, and an explosion shatters their world, she and Graham Marshall, the daughter’s father, are forced into a deadly game of cat and mouse. Someone is targeting his company—and his family—and every move they make could be their last.

As the danger closes in, love may be the one thing that saves them—or costs them everything.


Hunted from city streets to a secluded mountain refuge, Vanessa and Graham must uncover the truth before the next attack hits home. But guarding a child is one thing… guarding her heart against the man she’s come to care for is another. In a battle of loyalty, faith, and courage, they’ll discover that sometimes the only way to survive the darkness is to trust in God—and in each other.

Blind Man’s Bluff is a pulse-pounding Christian romantic suspense filled with danger, courage, and second chances.

Nancy J. Farrier grew up on a small farm in the Midwest amidst a close-knit family and a large extended family. She loved farm life including the animals, cooking, gardening and canning, but not so much the cleaning house part. A little-known fact is that she preferred to help with feeding cattle or mending fence than helping with housework.

In school Nancy often got in trouble in history class for hiding a fiction book in her text book to read during the teacher’s lecture. Or, she daydreamed her way through classes, writing stories in her head instead of paying attention to the teacher. English and Literature were her favorite classes.

Now, a best-selling, award winning author of historical and contemporary Christian fiction, Nancy lives in the Sonoran Desert of Southern Arizona and loves to research and include bits of history in her books. She often incorporates her love of the Southwest into her settings as the Southwest has a rich history that lends itself to fiction, and historical characters that come to life on the page.

[Trudy Cordle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved Graham and Vanessa's story!! Graham has hired Vanessa to be his daughter, Nova's, bodyguard. Graham knew Vanessa's deceased husband. With someone making threats against his business, and especially his daughter, he knows he needs help, and since Vanessa and her siblings co-own a security company, he decides that Vanessa is the best choice. As the threats escalate, and as the ones after him somehow keep tracking them, Vanessa's brother and sister-in-law, Dylan and Jayne, meet up with them to work together. When things continue to escalate, Vanessa's brother-in-law, Seth, is the FBI agent sent to work with them. As things continue to heat up for keeping everyone safe, so does the attraction between Vanessa and Graham heat up. Will they be able to have a life together, or will things end before they begin?? There were twists I didn't see coming, though I'll admit I was telling the characters where to look for tracking devices before they finally did it! lol!! Love how they all depended on God, and how Graham had to learn that he wasn't in control, and couldn't control everything, but that God could and did!!

I received a complimentary copy of this book, was not required to leave a review, and the opinion expressed is my own.

Blind Man's Bluff is an intense and fast-moving suspense with action from beginning to end. The main characters are courageous, with strong faith. Even Graham's 10 year old daughter, Nova, is resilient despite all the danger. I loved her witty humor and love for her dad.

Graham struggles to find out who is after him and Nova. Vanessa is hired as his daughter's bodyguard to help protect her. There is one circumstance after another of danger coming at them, with quite a few suspects. Graham doesn't know who to trust.

If you enjoy intense danger, strong characters, and a sweet budding romance, this book checks all the boxes. I couldn't put it down. Highly recommended.

I received an ARC from the author; a positive review is not required. All opinions are my own.

WOW!! Blind Man's Bluff (Kane Security Series Book 2) is the first romantic suspense book I've read by this author, and it won't be the last.
This book catches you with an exciting first page and keeps you turning pages until the end. Vanessa Taylor of Kane Security is hired by Graham Marshall to protect his young daughter, Nova, from an evil and very dangerous person. They are intent on ruining Graham and harming anyone close to him.
As he & Vanessa protect his daughter, they are also trying to figure out you is doing this and most of all why?
I absolutely loved this book and definitely recommend it to all.

Vanessa has a small security company and is hired to protect Graham’s daughter when he begins receiving threats. Graham, a friend of Vanessa’s deceased husband, owns a cyber security company but is afraid the person wanting to harm his family may be an insider.

This is an intense Christian suspense as Vanessa and Graham try to find who is trying to sabotage Graham’s family and company. There are many very good faith aspects as they pray for protection, direction, and wisdom and thank the Lord for his blessings and protection.

I received a copy of this book from the author. My review is entirely voluntary and unbiased.

[Kara · Rating 5 out of 5]

What an intense suspenseful book! It draws you in from the start and keeps you guessing. I like how Nancy brings in the elements of trusting God and in His protection. This book is very well written. It has wonderful characters, action-packed, and HEA. Even the Father/daughter relationship was endearing which brought happy moments throughout. This is the first book from this author that I have read and I highly recommend it. I was given a complimentary ARC copy and this is my honest opinion.

[Joanne T S · Rating 5 out of 5]

This fast paced romantic suspense grabbed my attention on the first page and I had a hard time putting it down. The story skillfully pulled me into the world of cybersecurity, gaming and espionage. At times I found the challenges facing Graham, Vanessa and Nova overwhelming however the theme of 'trust' would tug them through. The story has a satisfying ending with everything you want in a romantic suspense. A book I would certainly recommend.

[Jackie G · Rating 5 out of 5]

From the first page, it draws you into a full suspense scene. Nancy J.Farrier has a way of creating characters that you can relate to and want to root for throughout the book. This was a hard book to put down, I had to know how it ended! Between suspense, family dynamics, and a few Christmas decorations, this was a well thought out story.

[Ann · Rating 5 out of 5]

As usual Nancy has written a good book, with someone who has fallen away from their faith due to circumstances. The events that happen have him questioning if he should refind his faith.
I received this book as an ARC reader and this is my honest opinion of this book. Well worth reading.

Could not put this book down. Nova, Graham and Vanessa have a unique adventure. I don’t want to give spoilers just have plenty of time when you start reading as it is hard to put the book down.
