"Deep, likable characters and well-developed plot."- TopShelf Magazine.net
Imagine you're a single mom walking into a theater alone on a rainy night, when three armed terrorists attempt to abduct you. Imagine closing your eyes to say a desperate prayer, then opening them again to behold a miracle. While others just watch, a mystery man steps forward -- rough-cut, catch-fire blue eyes, a die-hard countenance and fast hands -- dispatching rough justice upon your attackers.
Is he an angel? A devil? Imagine learning that your rescuer is Cody Musket, Houston Astros third baseman and a decorated US Marine who happens to be at the theater that night only because his scheduled baseball game has been rained out.
Brandi Barnes is an investigative reporter who has exposed a child trafficking ring, and thus has a price on her head. She falls hard for the man who has saved her, but soon discovers that Cody carries dark military secrets which are destroying him.
What happened after his F/A-18 crashed in the Afghan desert? What events did the generals and politicians hide? His scars, nightmares. Who are the crying children that haunt his dreams? She must learn the truth before it is too late.
Brandi risks her own life to save the only man she has ever loved.
An unforgettable tale of honor, courageous love and finding faith. Historical fiction containing real events. Heartwarming, tragic, funny, inspirational.
