Rescuing You

By Robin Patchen

Description:

A heart-pounding tale of danger and devotion, the riveting second installment of the Wright Heroes of Maine series by a USA Today bestselling author.

CIA agent Michael Wright's world crumbles when his girlfriend, Leila, is snatched off the street and later seen in the grasp of a terrorist he’s been tracking, Michael blames himself. Keeping his identity secret from her clearly didn’t protect her. Now he must defy the Agency and fly to Iraq to rescue her.

Leila Amato escaped Iraq a decade earlier, only returning in her worst nightmares. But those nightmares have come true when she finds herself captive and all alone, or so she thought until she sees her identical twin sister.

Michael tracks Leila to a desert compound, but his rescue mission goes awry when he discovers her sister needs to escape as well. His detailed strategy can only ensure one woman’s safety. Now they’re on the run, trying to get out of the country before their enemies track them down.

But Leila’s kidnapping is only one small part of a larger plot—one that endangers thousands of lives—and now he doesn’t know who he can trust. Not even the woman who’s stolen his heart. A woman who’s been keeping secrets of her own…

Book Takeaway:

Ultimately, God is in control, and submitting to Him is always a good idea.

Why the author wrote this book:

After a mission trip to Lesvos, Greece, to minister to refugees, I wanted to write a story featuring a refugee and showcase a little of what they have to do to escape their countries and reach Europe and safety. The heroine in Rescuing You is an Iraqi Christian who escaped her country when her family discovered she'd converted. Although readers won't see the ordeal of getting into Europe, they will get a sense of what it's like for the thousands who make the trek every year. Of course, the story isn't about that. It's about a hero risking everything to save the woman he loves, and a woman risking everything to protect the city she calls home from terrorists.
