First Book

How far can he run before he is caught— by an angel?

“A man takes care of his own.” Stuart Taylor believes it, but now he’s on the run from murder with 6 year old Hannah in tow. It is his fault the girl’s mother died and he can’t forgive himself for that. He takes the job of light keeper in the small coastal community of La Playa and lives unobtrusively—until he meets the town’s new schoolteacher.

Rachel Houston learned early on to take care of herself and if she is to keep her job, she needs students to teach. However, the light keeper refuses to bring his daughter to school. He wants Rachel to tutor her. The challenge of teaching the mute girl entices Rachel—and the money would help too.

She is skeptical of the rumors that surround the light keeper—and fascinated too, but the last thing she wants is to care for the obstinate man. When the sheriff tracks him down and hauls Stuart to jail, she must decide where she’ll put her trust. They both must overcome the past if they are ever to take hold of their future together.

Will she stand by her man?
