She’s trying to save the boy’s life. What if he’s supposed to save hers?
For tough-as-nails Chicago social worker Ashley Sorenson, it’s nothing new to risk her life for hurting children. Seeing innocent kids suffer every day may have made her a little cynical, but she’ll stop at nothing to rescue children from miserable circumstances.
But Ashley faces a special challenge when Matthew Borden, a sixteen-year-old with Down syndrome, is orphaned. Finding a suitable foster home for the boy becomes the least of her problems when someone starts threatening her and Matthew.
The sudden appearance of a mysterious FBI agent confirms Ashley’s growing suspicions that Matthew is no ordinary teen. The boy she thought no one wanted is wanted by many…dead or alive.
Dodging danger at every turn, Ashley races to find the secrets that could save Matthew’s life. When the truth unearths her own dark past and threatens more than their lives, the God Matthew trusts may be her only hope for rescue.
A gripping and gritty standalone Christian suspense thriller from the bestselling author of the Guardians Unleashed Series.

EXCERPT:
“And you’re Ashley Sorenson. Sorry to surprise you like this. I know you’ve had a long day.” His tone was so polite, so normal. Like he was her best friend who’d decided to drop in.
She somehow found her voice as she slowly slid her hand under the flap of her purse’s outer pocket. “You followed me?” If she could just get to her knife.
“Today? No. But I kept tabs on your movements.”
Kept tabs on her movements? What kind of stalker talked like that?
“Why don’t you sit down.” More of an order than a question. He pointed his hand at the armchair next to the couch. Only a few feet away from him. “And I’d appreciate it if you took your hand out of that pocket.”
She froze, her fingers touching the folded knife.
“The pocket of your purse there. This will go a lot easier if you don’t try to use that on me.”
He knew about the knife? Did he have a weapon of his own? Maybe a gun.
