SeaMount agent, Jack 'Preach' Conroy's assignment is to bring Lucinda Lavalle home to her worried grandmother. The island country teeters at the edge of civil war. A former Army Ranger, Jack has the skills to do the job. What he isn't prepared for is Lucinda's resolve to stay on the island or his growing attraction toward her. Sassy and irreverent, she challenges his faith at a time he's fighting his own losing battle with God. Lucinda Lavalle can't go home. Her grandmother's safety depends on her staying away, but there is no reasoning with the determined agent, or her traitorous, unlucky-at-love heart that wants to trust him. Committed to protecting her at any cost, Jack dares her to stop running from God and him, and believe she is worthy of their love.
