About the Book

Title: Wasted
Series: Windy City Westons #2
Author: Jerusha Agen
Publisher: SDG Words, LLC
Release Date: October 23, 2025
Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense

She always follows the rules. But what are the rules for murder?

Victoria Weston encounters tough things as a home health physical therapist, but this is a first—a dead body. The police call the patient’s death accidental. Victoria knows that can’t be true. Her efforts to convince the police they’re dealing with a murder get her labeled a troublemaker by all but one man—the troubler of her youth.

When Cillian Doherty returns to right the wrongs of the past, he finds his high school flame in a different kind of danger than he expected. As a social worker, he’s in the perfect position to corroborate her cry of murder or give her what she wanted—to handle her problems without his help.

But someone wants to silence Victoria. When lies escalate to violence and threaten more lives, the Weston siblings join the battle to save their sister.

Yet it will take a God more powerful than all of them for Cillian and Victoria to make peace with their past and catch the killer. Before the killer catches them.

Wasted continues the thrilling Windy City Westons series that features five siblings who encounter danger, love, and God in the city of Chicago. (Each book can stand alone or be read as series installments.)

EXCERPT #1


Delilah and Jamica restarted their verbal sparring before Victoria could clearly hear the voice on the other end of the line.
She covered her left ear with her fingers. “Ginny?”
“Hey, yeah. What’s with all the noise?”
“I’m at the Trents’.”
“Oh, gotcha. At it again. At least you know I wasn’t making it up.”
“I was aware of that from my first visit.” Victoria chose her words carefully, though with the shouting match going on, it was doubtful Jamica or Delilah would hear a word she said.
“Yeah. They sound pretty heated this time. You good alone there?”
“I believe so.” Though Victoria wouldn’t mind wrapping up the visit as soon as possible.
“What did you need?”
“Oh, Dr. Tennison’s office called with a question about—”
A slam cracked through the house.
Victoria jerked to see the front door bounce back from where it must have been smacked into the wall.
A tall man in a dark jacket stood in the doorway, a red bandana layered under a black winter hat on his head and fury twisting his features.
Light glinted off something in his hand.
Was that—
The long, silver blade left no doubt. He was holding a knife.
