Book 5
In the dead of night, there's a knock on the door at Haven, an inner-city youth center in St. Louis.
A refugee family–scared, tired and hungry–seeks shelter. Fresh back from Afghanistan, former marine sergeant Joshua Duff takes on the mission. He recruits aid worker Liz Wallace, but she has questions for Joshua. Such as why a Texan with an oil magnate for a father is working at Haven. Or why a man who fears nothing–including the gang violence threatening the center–seems scared of opening his heart to her.
Joshua will call upon his training and his faith to protect Liz and Haven. Yet the most dangerous threat lurks closer than they realize.
Book 6
His teenaged son is on the run-from a murder charge. Widowed rancher Cole Strong might not win any father-of-the-year awards, but he knows his boy.
His son's only crime is caring too much about people and the world. Something Cole has forsaken. Now, a corrupt food supplier will do anything to protect its secrets and lies-including killing the kid who knows too much. The only person who can help is the dedicated teacher who'd been reaching out to his child: Jill Pruitt. A beautiful woman who reminds Cole of the man he used to be.
Across a dusty, dangerous landscape, Cole and Jill must find the boy they both love-before someone very dangerous does.
Something was terribly wrong with the shy, scared little girl. Every day, she came to Haven, Sam Hawke's inner-city youth center. But the former marine couldn't get Flora to open up. So he turned to newspaper reporter Ana Burns, hoping that her skill at asking nosy questions about him and his mission could be put to better use.
Flora quickly captured Ana's heart. As did Sam and his dream of providing a haven for children with nowhere else to go. Ana's questions were soon answered-and worst fears confirmed-about little Flora. And protecting her and the center from a powerful predator would take all their love and faith combined.
