      THE WIDOW’S PROTECTOR

      Lark Porter thinks she’ll find answers about her husband’s death when she returns to their former home, but someone doesn’t like the questions she’s asking. She’s quickly taken captive, and all that stands between her and certain death is a mysterious stranger telling her to trust him if she wants to get out alive. Hostage Rescue and Extraction Team member Cyrus Mitchell marvels at Lark’s strength and determination to survive. The closer they get to freedom, the more dangerous the situation becomes. Once free, though, it takes all the skills and training Cyrus has to outmaneuver the deadly killers on their trail.

      Mission: Rescue—No job is too dangerous for these fearless heroes

      “If he comes back, I’ll fight for you. You’ll fight for you. Between the two of us, we should be able to keep you safe.”

      “Who’s going to keep you safe?” Lark asked.

      “I’m pretty good at doing that myself,” Cyrus said, taking her arm and leading her around the side of the building.

      “I’m pretty good at doing it, too, Cyrus,” Lark said as she lowered herself into the passenger seat of the car. “But even people who are good at taking care of themselves, people who have always kept themselves safe, need help sometimes. I learned that while I was lying in that trailer praying that God would send someone to help me. I’m not going to forget that you were the one He sent. And, if you’re ever in trouble, if you’re ever at the point where you really do need someone to step in, I can guarantee you that I’ll be the first to show up.”

      She closed the door before he could respond.

      It was for the best. Cyrus wasn’t sure what he would have said.

      Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.

      To Ronda Tumberg, who has always spelled my name correctly.

      In loving memory of her sweet son Radley Eaton, who lived the entirety of his life in just a few short days, but who touched more hearts in that time than most people ever will.
