    About this ebook

    When a jilted bride is targeted by deadly criminals, her secret bodyguard will do anything to keep her safe in this inspirational romantic thriller.

    After Natalie Harper is left at the altar, she refuses to give in to hurt and humiliation. But deciding to enjoy her honeymoon alone only leads to more trouble. Good thing her federal judge father secretly hired a bodyguard to protect her.

    When Natalie is attacked on the beach in Mexico, Luke Everett arrives just in time to rescue her. Now that he knows she’s in danger, it’ll take all his professional skills to keep Natalie safe. Navigating a deadly game of secrets and betrayal, Natalie and Luke will need to stay close and keep their faith just to survive.

Sara writes and teaches piano in a suburb near Houston, Texas, where she and her husband stay busy with their four children, three dogs and a cat.
