Fierce Heart by Ella Cooper

Fierce Heart by Ella Cooper

People come and go. Life happens.

I’d learned this at an early age when my parents parted ways and even before that when they showed me I was the least of their priorities. With a new job on the Belford Ranch, I had made up my mind not to cross any lines.
That resolution was made before I set eyes on the heiress to the ranch, Bianca Belford. She was the very definition of temptation, from her clear milky skin to her rounded hips and the way she carried herself like a goddess, and it wasn’t long before thoughts of her started plaguing my mind.
Now I’m caught between holding to my commitment and testing the waters with this feisty woman.
Will wanting this heiress be a blessing or the curse that ends my career as a ranch manager?

A series that will leave you breathless with its heated plot, emotional depth, and sizzling passion. Enjoy!

Shattered Guilt by Kathleen J. Robison

About Shattered Guilt by Kathleen J. Robison:

When they told her about Southern hospitality, no one mentioned human trafficking.

The move to Bay Town, Mississippi was supposed to be a fresh start for single-mom Melanie and her daughter, Lacey. The quiet Southern town offers a nice relief after the frenetic-paced life of Los Angeles, but something sinister lurks beneath the surface.

Her bridal business struggles to take off, and instead of turning to the Lord, Melanie makes a desperate plea for help—from her ex-husband. Lacey is attacked, and while she is hospitalized, her friend goes missing—a victim of human trafficking out of New Orleans.

With her ex-husband showing true signs of repentance, the pastor she’d begun to fall for taking a step back, and her daughter’s friend lost to the animals who stole her, Melanie goes on a desperate, dangerous mission to rescue the girl and get their lives back.

And she’ll do it with or without the Lord’s help.

How can Melanie find the girls and rescue them without getting caught herself? Why can’t she trust the Lord to keep them all safe, and which man in her life is the right one—if either?

Read this heart-gripping, pulse-racing novel and see how the Lord’s hand is on us, even when He seems so very far away.
