Christmas was supposed to be peaceful in Last Chance County—until escaped killers turn their winter wonderland into a deadly hunting ground.
When a catastrophic blizzard causes a prison transport crash, hardened criminals scatter into the frozen wilderness. With roads impassable and temperatures plummeting, Last Chance County's bravest first responders must abandon their holiday plans for the most dangerous manhunt of their lives.
But in the heart of winter's fury, love is the light in the storm…
Firefighter Izan Collins has waited months to win guarded cop Olivia Tazwell's heart, but when a cartel killer targets his family during a church event, their first date becomes a fight for survival.
Officer Anthony Thomas never believed in Christmas magic—until protecting fierce firefighter Della Nixon from a vengeful serial killer shows him that some gifts are worth any sacrifice.
K-9 Officer Cole Stuart has hunted his nemesis for two years, but partnering with determined EMT Kianna Russellin a deadly mountain pursuit teaches him that some battles are meant to be fought together.
Three couples. Three heart-stopping chases through winter's deadliest storm. Three Christmas miracles that prove love conquers all. -
Everyone needs hope. Now more than ever, we need a glimmer of light in the darkness. This is my reminder to you.
I collaborated with the amazing Lisa Phillips and Michelle Sass Aleckson where we each wrote one story in this novella collection (so you get three stories in one!) and they all transpire over the course of a few days.
Buckle up, because the winter storm is just getting started.

There’s a duty to find the truth. . .
There’s a rescue waiting to happen.
-
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?

Zack and Naya’s story came to me after talking with some friends about foster care and adoption—a topic that has become near to my heart as I see the beauty of welcoming people into our families and showing them love.
So I did some research and came across a blog post sharing a Chinese Proverb. The proverb says that there is an invisible red thread that connects those destined to meet. The use of this proverb in the adoption world is seen through children being destined to meet the family they are meant to be with.
Immediately, my mind was spinning with ideas and I asked myself what does it look like to have a family when you have no blood relatives?
From there, Zack and Naya’s story of loss, family, and rescue was born.
Of course, I had to add in a healthy dose of suspense with a cold case, a water contamination crisis, and a murderer who will do anything to keep the truth buried.
There’s a duty to find the truth.
There’s a rescue waiting to happen.

“This is a wonderful book of perseverance and forgiveness.” - Karen Brasher
“Rescued Duty was engaging, fast-paced, and an edge of your seat read with twists and turns, friends to more, misplaced guilt, and faith threads woven in. This is a story of loss and second chances.” - Allyson Anthony
“Favorite quote: “The truth is beautiful because it sheds light on the darkness and exposes it.” This is the fifth book in the Last Chance Fire and Rescue, but can be read as a standalone. I enjoyed reading it and you will too if you like to read books by similar authors such as Susan May Warren or Elizabeth Goddard.” - Lisa M.
“Oh my goodness! That's what I said when I reached the end of the book. I mean talk about fast paced! Conaway did an amazing job of keeping me on the edge of my seat.” - Jessica Baker

When her photo is leaked in the local paper, Avery Sanford’s identity in witness protection is compromised. She's the key witness to a murder, and a ruthless drug ring will stop at nothing to silence her. With attackers on her tail, Avery has no choice but to accept the help of former army commander Seth Brown. But keeping Avery alive long enough to testify could be the end for them both.
-
I’m thrilled to share Seth and Avery’s story with you!
This story was born one day while teaching middle school. Our school security officer walked by on his normal rounds and suddenly an idea sparked in my mind.
What if a school teacher crossed paths with someone from their past and needed protection but it was the last thing she wanted because it dredged up painful memories?
While my students worked on their assignment, I rushed to write down all the thoughts I had for Seth and Avery’s adventure.

“I really enjoyed this book. The story was full of action and suspense that made it difficult to put down. I especially enjoyed how she incorporated the faith inspired passages into a fictional story. It certainly will motivate me to incorporate similar thoughts into my own life's challenging moments. Laura did a great job of endearing me to the characters and I yearn to learn more about them. I can't wait to read the sequel to this story. Laura Conaway is definitely on my watch list.” -Sky
“Conaway has a talent for bringing compelling characters alive on the page with interesting storylines and she did so here. If you're reading this and thinking, "okay, okay, enough with the character stuff, I like pulse pounding action!" Well, let me reassure you, this story had plenty of suspense and action but also an element of mystery, which I adored.” -A. Butler

Each story pops into my mind with a what if question. Expired Vows came to life when I found myself asking, what if your deceased wife’s best friend needs protection from a killer, but to fall in love with her would betray the love you once had for your wife. This convoluted idea became the glue that set the story and I couldn’t stop writing until I found out what would happen to Trace and Kelsey. Although this is the fourth book in the new Last Chance Fire and Rescue Series, it can be read as a stand alone!

“Both main characters dealt with deep hurts from their past. I could relate on a deep level to Kelsey. She had to learn that she was worthy of being loved by others and God. I am rarely moved to tears by books but this one really touched my heart.” -Laura Hambry
“This book had me wrapped completely up in each scene and I could not put it down and walk away easily. Conaway’s writing reached out to my heart and my soul, as Trace and Kelsey tried to put the pain of the past aside while getting to know one another once again.” -Tina Lowery

This story was birthed after reading about the life of Joseph in Genesis 37 - 50. He still chose to give God glory even when his circumstances warranted a different response. He chose to live with integrity even when his circumstances could have caused him to give in. He counted the cost of following Yahweh, even when the road ahead looked bleak.
We all make decisions every day. And those decisions require us to count the costs and the sacrifice involved.
Read Hudson and Felicia’s story to see what sacrifices they’re willing to make and finish this story empowered to count the costs in your own life and take a step of bold faith.
Redeeming the Shadows is only available to read through Laura’s newsletter community.
