About the Book
Book: Lethal Danger
Author: Jerusha Agen
Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense
Release Date: April 24, 2025
This K-9 team is trained to eliminate threats. This threat could eliminate them.
Being a loner is getting old. Jazz Lamont still can’t fit in at the Phoenix K-9 Agency, and she’s losing her best friend. At least providing security with her K-9 partner at the Tri-City Fair will mean revisiting the only place where she once belonged. But a series of accidents threatens her beloved fair and puts lives at risk.
Thriller author Hawthorne Emerson suspects foul play after the first “accident.” Moonlighting as fair security to investigate the death of his sister’s boyfriend, he’s eager to find the truth. He doesn’t expect the task to lead him to the cult he escaped.
Finding the culprit behind the sabotage is personal for Jazz and Hawthorne. But someone else has a personal stake, too. Someone who wants Jazz dead. When everything she thought was true is dismantled, can Jazz risk trusting others—including God—to survive?

THE DANGER OF COLORED GLASSES
Have you ever felt left out? Maybe someone you care about never accepts you or loves you, no matter how much you try to please that person?
One would think Jazz Lamont, the heroine of Lethal Danger, would never have experienced such feelings. After all, she’s a beautiful security agent who trounces bad guys without breaking a sweat, doesn’t fear danger, and has an incredible K-9 partner. She was chosen to join the elite Phoenix K-9 Security and Detection Agency, which means she’s one of the best in a dangerous, challenging line of work.
But though she doesn’t bat an eye when she faces threats and bad guys, Jazz is far from confident when it comes to social interactions. Thanks to a series of rejections in her childhood, Jazz is pretty sure most people won’t like her or want to accept her. So far, her life seems to be proving that assumption true.
As I discovered Jazz’s character while writing Lethal Danger, I was intrigued by how much her fear of rejection colored her point of view of basically everything. Sometimes, a comment that a gal on the Phoenix K-9 Team made would seem like a put-down to Jazz, though I knew as the author that the other agent hadn’t meant the remark that way.
Noticing Jazz’s tendency to see everything through rejection-colored glasses made me take a hard look at myself. What fears of my own are skewing how I see and receive things?
Is my desire for approval making me misinterpret others’ remarks as critical when they aren’t intended as such? Do my insecurities make me misconstrue or internalize social media posts or friends’ jokes? Perhaps my worries about finances or dangers to my physical safety make me see hazards where there aren’t any or avoid doing what the Lord wants me to.
How about you? Have you thought about the harmful ways in which your experiences, fears, and vulnerabilities might be coloring the glasses through which you view life?
Let’s all take stock together and then bring those burdens to Jesus Christ. He’ll remind us that the only point of view that matters, the only one that is accurate, is His. And He’ll help us begin to see the world through His perfect eyes.
Author Interview
- What is your favorite genre of books? Why?
My favorite genre of books to read, as you might expect, is Christian romantic suspense. I find that romance-only books don’t usually hold my attention. I need the excitement and thrill of suspense and mystery to keep me turning those pages. I love the combination of romance and suspense in other genres, too, though, like Karen Witemeyer’s western romances that also include danger and suspense.
- Are you a one project at a time author or do you have multiple projects going at once?
I prefer to focus primarily on one project at a time, as that suits my personality and allows for maximum efficiency. But as a full-time author, I don’t always have that luxury! I outline, write, and edit one book at a time, but I also often need to promote or launch a different book at the same time as I’m writing the next one. I’ll also listen to the audiobook recordings of my books to proof them while I’m writing a different book.
- How do you relax after a long day of writing?
I enjoy unwinding with a good movie and some good food (including dessert, of course). I’ve found that watching movies not only relaxes me but also refuels my creativity and imagination for my writing!
- Where do you find your greatest inspiration?
In the Lord! I could not do any of this—coming up with stories, thinking of the words to tell those stories, and completing all the hard work of crafting a novel—without God providing the inspiration, direction, perseverance, and every single word. I’m forever grateful for the gift of being able to create with the Creator of all things!
- What do you need in your writing space to help you stay focused?
I really need a quiet and undisturbed environment to focus on my writing. But this is the real world, and I’m blessed with pets and family. 😊 So, I don’t usually get that perfect writing environment.
But I do my best to stay focused with the aid of headphones that play movie soundtracks for only me to hear and block out some of the household noises. I find that the right soundtrack can transport me into my story world like nothing else.
