Books like Jigsaw by Kathleen Nance

Bella Quintera’s life takes a dramatic turn when a snowbound car wreck leaves her injured on a Michigan Upper Peninsula road. Her unexpected rescuer is none other than Daniel Champlain, a rugged NSA agent she once loved but tried to forget. Daniel’s sudden reappearance is more than romantic; he needs Bella’s help with a cutting‑edge invention that could threaten national security. As Bella grapples with the implications of her creation, she must decide whether Daniel’s motives are truly protective or self‑serving. Tension mounts as new enemies emerge, forcing Bella to confront both past betrayals and current dangers. Throughout the racing plot, Bella’s love for jigsaw puzzles offers a recurring motif of missing pieces—literal and figurative—as she struggles to determine whom she can trust and how to keep her life—and her invention—safe.
