Five years ago, Connor's new bride Hannah lost her way in a blizzard and the mountain claimed her. When a woman's body is uncovered during a landslide, Connor learns his beloved was murdered and the man responsible goes on the run. Connor enlists the aid of his cousin, a skip tracer, to track down the killer and discovers the murderer has set his sights on another woman. Determined to save the woman from the same fate as his beloved wife, Connor has her brought to Haven and faces the second biggest shock of his life—the woman claims she's Hannah.
The murderer who sent Hannah Stratford on the run has tracked her down. For years, she has lived off the identity of her best friend and lookalike. Now, the only way to stay alive is for Hannah to prove she didn't die in a blizzard. Connor offers her safety and protection in his home, but keeps his heart guarded from her. Hannah wants more than to save her life. She wants Connor back. How will her husband react once he learns she not only left on her own, but hid her friend’s death to save herself? Can Hannah ever find true peace in her life or will she always be on the run?

Connor Stratford's wife's death happened when he was overseas serving his country. Although it has been a few years, he still has a hard time letting go and he still wants the man he believes killed her brought to justice. But the truth he believes just may not be what reality is.
Hannah, Connor’s wife, is actually alive and has been hiding from a killer for years. She has taken the identity of her friend; the woman who was really murdered. Now believing he has found her again, she heads the only place she can think of, home. Home is where it all began and hopefully will end.
With a woman who claims to be his wife and family members helping to unravel a murder, Connor is unsure of what to believe; his head or his heart. Where the truth is definitely stranger than fiction, they all need to try to stay alive and utilize their faith in God.
Lots of danger and mystery surround the Third book in the New Beginnings Series. It leaves the reader guessing just as much as the characters. However, I would recommend reading the series from the start as I found myself a bit confused about how many of the characters fit together. Other than that, I found Safe and Sound to be a very enjoyable read with characters that entertain you with their story.
