When their church announces a two-week mission’s trip to the Philippines, Lindsay feels that this may be the change she needs. Plus, it will give her the opportunity to see the world beyond the one she’s lived in her whole life. The only problem is her mother.

In order to give her mother peace of mind, Lindsay agrees to allow a bodyguard to accompany her. Than Miller is the consummate ladies’ man. He loves to spend time with them and to make them feel good about themselves. Unfortunately, that very approach to life has made the one woman he’s most interested in hold him at arm’s length.

Surely he’ll have the opportunity to convince Lindsay to change her opinion of him during their trip together.

But when disaster strikes and she finds herself completely out of her element, Lindsay has to face her own vulnerabilities. As her faith in God deepens, will she be able to let down her guard enough to let Than in? Usually, Than has no trouble keeping his emotions detached from his job, but this time around he’s finding it more and more difficult. And it’s not just because he’s responsible for Lindsay. In the midst of disaster, he comes face to face with a faith he’s never experienced before. Will he give his heart to God even as he waits for Lindsay to give hers to him? Or will the experiences Than and Lindsay shared on the trip be just a memory when they get back home? less

Justin Morrell cares about only two things in his life: his job at BlackThorpe Security and his sister, Beth, and her family. After a family tragedy a decade earlier forced Justin to leave the military career he'd planned on in order to care for his thirteen-year-old sister, he has taken his role as her guardian seriously. So when bad news comes regarding his niece, Justin is determined to do what he can to fix the problem. Though it seems he can't change the events that are unfolding, he's determined to make sure that the woman that's showed up in Beth's life to help her is really on the up and up. There's just something about Alana Jensen and her son that doesn't add up, and Justin plans to use his resources at BlackThorpe to figure out why that is and then take the steps necessary to protect his family. It's been just over two years since Alana Jensen and her son fled an abusive home in Florida. For the past several months, Alana has been feeling that she and Caden may have finally found their new home. Her passion to help people who are dealing with a child newly diagnosed with hearing loss has brought them into contact with Beth and Daniel Olson and their daughter, Genevieve. Though they must live frugally, Alana finds that for the first time in her life, she feels happy and safe. She isn't keen to let people get close enough to know about her past and the scars she wears, but she finds herself unable to turn away the friendship that Beth and her husband offer to her. Everything would have been fine if Beth's brother hadn't shown up looking an awful lot like her ex and determined to paint her as a threat to his family. Justin's busy work schedule has left little room for a relationship with anyone but his family. That has worked fine until the day he finds that the walls he's kept around his heart have crumbled. Will he be able to make the changes necessary to let more people into his life, or will the job he's devoted his life to come out on top? Alana never planned to allow another man close--particularly one who shared the muscled physique of her ex. But when her son is determined that Justin Morrell is his new hero, she has to decide if she is willing to open herself up again. Will she be able to finally let go of her past and the hurts she's carried for so long and trust that God's will for her life just might include another shot at love?

Her choices make it difficult to let anyone get close but she has a handful of people she counts as good friends.

Six years later, his life is full with his involvement at his church, his job and his large group of friends. He’s been happy with the many friendships he has—including one with Melanie Thorpe—but when he begins to feel more for her, Tyler wonders if it’s worth risking a friendship for the possibility of love. If Melanie was able to trust a man, it would be someone like Tyler.

But can she trust him enough to share about her past?
