He'd find Kailey someday. One assignment at a time. One prayer at a time ...

Ever since a cult took his daughter, police investigator Ross Malcolm's mission has been to protect children. To accomplish this goal, he's joined the state's elite Organized Crime Task Force and has come to Hamilton Falls, Washington, to investigate a secretive sect that has come under suspicion for child endangerment. Ross deliberately begins to court Julia McNeill, the daughter of an elder in the sect, although Ross is secretly disdainful of her restricted lifestyle. But along the way his interest shifts from professional to personal, and Ross finds himself wanting to teach Julia the truth of God's love.

Accustomed to living in her beautiful and accomplished sister's shadow, at twenty-six Julia is unaware of her own strengths. Though she's been taught to fear outsiders, conscience compels her to risk everything to help Ross protect her nephew and find his daughter. But Julia's actions unleash a dangerous chain of events. And now Ross must save three lives from the evil that threatens them ...
