About the Book (from the author) SHE’S LOSING HER FAITH IN MANKIND. HE’S LOST HIS FAITH IN GOD. CAN WORKING TOGETHER RESTORE THEM BOTH?As matron of Final Chance House of Refuge, Gwendolyn Ellison has dedicated her life to serving the children deemed delinquents by society. She'll protect them with everything she has. So when she suspects someone is using Final Chance for criminal deeds, she's determined to investigate and put a stop to it. But villains don't like to be crossed--and they're willing to kill to get their way. Gwendolyn knows she can't quit fighting. More than her own life is on the line if counterfeiters go free. She must find someone she can trust to help her expose the criminals and protect the children under her care. Charming and chivalrous Secret Service operative Josiah Isaacs has never been able to turn his back on a woman in trouble--and capturing counterfeiters is his job, after all. The danger he's truly worried about is his growing attraction to Gwendolyn when his heart wants to remain faithful to his deceased wife. As both peril and interest grow, he begins to consider whether a second love may be possible--if they can live through this case. At the same time, he's put off by her faith in a God he no longer trusts. How can a future together even be possible when their beliefs are at odds?

A very well-written story about counterfeiting, youth refuge houses, the Secret Service, God's strength and mercy, and the chance at new love. Some of the subject matter is difficult (abuse of children), but handled well I thought. I enjoyed this story enough that I read it in a day. I recommend the entire series.
I received a book from the author. All opinions are mine alone without expectation or compensation.
