Raina Lowery is kidnapped by insurgents in Sudan while on a
medical mission's trip. HEART, a hostage rescue team from
DC, rescues Raina and another hostage. Raina refuses to
leave without Samuel, a 10-year-old boy who helped her and
who was shot in the leg during Raina's escape. The HEART
team promises to see to Samuel's medical needs in Africa
and then bring him to the United States for recovery.
As Jackson Miller from HEART arrives a few weeks later at
Raina's home with Samuel, he finds her running for her life
through the woods by her house. She saw someone crossing
her yard, followed them into the woods and that person
began shooting at her. When Jackson gives chase, this
perpetrator tries to back over him with his vehicle as he
escapes the scene. The police believe someone is stalking
Raina and she needs protection. She ends up with the entire
HEART team at her home, seeing that she and Samuel are
safe. When a week passes without another incident, Raina
believes this nightmare is over, but then the stalker
strikes again and takes Raina right out from under HEART's
watch. She prays for another rescue. Can Jackson get there
before her kidnapper kills her?
PROTECTIVE INSTINCTS is a story about holding onto your
faith and letting God's love prevail even in the darkest
times, about loss and getting second chances. Raina and
Jackson are strong characters with an equally strong cast
of supporting characters. The characters often butt heads
with everyone wanting to be in charge of Raina's safety.
Raina is already suffering from the loss of her husband and
son just a short time ago and wants life to return to
something that resembles normal. She and Jackson feel a
spark between them, but can there be a happy-ever-after?
This is an exciting new series by Shirlee McCoy
entitled Mission Rescue. The upcoming stories will all be
about members of the HEART team.

only wants to put the past behind her. Instead, she's
finding her son's toys in the woods and dodging a gunman's
bullets. Raina is trapped in a real-life nightmare – until
Jackson Miller reappears. Months ago, saving Raina was
Jackson's job as a member of HEART, a private rescue team.
But now it's personal. The hardened protector wants to give
Raina — and himself — a second chance at love. But first he
has to save her – again.
