"When a counterfeiting scheme threatens the children of the Final Chance House of Refuge, Matron Gwendolyn Ellison knows she must find someone she can trust to help her expose the criminals and protect the children. The charming and chivalrous Secret Service operative Josiah Isaacs can't turn his back on a woman in trouble-even if ferreting out counterfeiters wasn't his job. But he's put off by her faith in a God he no longer trusts. How can they be successful when their beliefs are so at odds? Can their faith, hearts, and very lives survive the evils of men?"--

"When Secret Service operative Andrew Darlington is brought in to support a US Marshal case involving counterfeiters in rural Indiana, he thinks it's simply the next rung on his climb to the top of his career. But liars can only climb so high-and Andrew is keeping a dangerous secret he doesn't ever want to get out. When he clashes with the criminal family that took over the town of Landkreis and killed the Marshal he was sent to assist, his past life starts to become in danger of being exposed. Widow "Lightning Lu" Thorne has only one goal: escape the clutches of the Thorne family with her son. Her decision to be an informant and testify against the Thornes looked like the perfect answer. Until the Marshal ended up dead. Now the tether keeping her tied to her felonious family is tightening, and a forced marriage to someone else in the Thornes' clutches threatens to kill any hope of escape. Andrew and Lu find themselves on the same team-unwillingly. They each believe the other to be the enemy to their future plans. And even if they could learn to work together, the secrets they hold could shatter all hopes and dreams. Despite the encouragement of the local preacher, they're not even sure God can be trusted-much less other humans. Can either of them escape their past-and the family that is willing to kill their own when they smell betrayal?"--
