Years later, Grace still refuses to allow other men to get close; instead, she focuses her full attention on her career. Bruce sees Grace as needing to be rescued from herself. He subtly sets about wooing her and over time, and through letters written during their deployments, they become close friends. Though he knows Grace's demanding job takes her daily into life-threatening situations, Bruce entrusts her to God.

Dee Henderson has once again penned a fascinating novel with a clever blend of adventure, romance, and God's hand moving in the lives of two people. | |
