Sanctuary and Sabotage

By Lori DeJong

Description:

Protection Specialist Trevor Paxton returns to his Texas hometown carrying the weight of a mission gone wrong. Seeking sanctuary at his family’s ranch, he never expects danger to follow him into the life of Dr. Kinsley Talbot, the once-freckled tomboy now fighting to save her family’s land and the veterinary clinic that is her future.

When Kinsley’s clinic is sabotaged and her barn goes up in flames, Trevor’s instincts tell him she's in danger. But Kinsley refuses his help, determined to protect her family’s legacy without revealing the secret that could bring it all down.

As threats close in and old feelings rekindle, Trevor makes a quiet choice that could cost him her trust. To save Kinsley, he’ll have to expose his own subterfuge—and convince her that love sometimes means standing guard, even from the shadows.

Book Takeaway:

God can redeem even the most hard parts of ourselves we try to hide from the world. There's nothing about us He doesn't care about.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wanted to write a brother's best friend trope, but the brother in this story is very troubled. He's battling gambling addiction and has inadvertently placed his sister in the middle of it all after getting in too deep with the wrong people.
