Ranch Refuge

"Ex-soldier Gunnar Colton's only focus is shaking off the horrors of war in his remote cabin--until a murderer abducts another victim from the neighboring Amish community. Now the Colton code of honor kicks in and it's his duty to protect the eyewitness who's the next likely target. Treating sexy, spitfire actress Violet Chastain as just another assignment is next to impossible, though. There's more to her than Hollywood and the hurt she's hiding. The minute Gunnar lets the starlet and her twin baby boys into his home, the guard around his heart starts to crack. One taste of passion shows him the future he could have with Violet-- if the threat closing in doesn't claim them both."--P. [4] of cover.

To Bonnie Walker, it was a dream birthed in the heart of a little country girl from Georgia. Her burning desire was to raise a big happy family of her own. But no one guessed just how big, how unique, and how far-reaching that family would be. She married her childhood sweetheart and gave birth to three beautiful daughters. She was happy and eager for more blessings when the dark storm clouds of life rolled in: four miscarriages followed, unending surgeries, no more biological babies. Her God-given vision suddenly seemed to have been mercifully ripped from her. But God's plan wasn't thwarted! Her barren womb wasn't an obstacle. Instead, it became a vehicle that introduced her to the desperate, the broken and the helpless. After God's gentle nudging, she adopted little ones that nobody wanted, children who had been abused, abandoned and neglected. With open arms, she and her husband embraced not just one, but eighteen children who needed a refuge, a permanent home. They both created Refuge Ranch and this is their story of what God can use average, faithful Christians to do for His Glory! --Amazon.com.
