The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Baxter Family novels and "inspirational fiction superstar" (Publishers Weekly) presents this high stakes love story of danger, passion, and faith.
She was a child caught in a riptide in the Caribbean Sea. He was a teenager from the East Coast on vacation with his family. He dove in to save her, and that single terrifying moment changed both of their lives forever.

Ten years later Jack Ryder is a daring undercover agent with the FBI and Eliza Lawrence still lives on that pristine island. She's an untainted princess in a kingdom of darkness and evil, on the brink of a forced marriage with a dangerous neighboring drug lord, a marriage arranged by her father. This time when Jack and Eliza meet, there's a connection neither of them can explain. Both of their lives are on the line, and once again, the stakes are deadly high.

Can they join forces in a complicated and dangerous mission, pretending to have a breathtaking love...without really falling? Sometimes miracles happen not once, but twice...along a distant shore.

      Starred review from June 1, 2021

      Eliza Lawrence can barely remember her idyllic childhood in a Mennonite community in Belize; back then, she played happily with her brother and went by the name Lizzie James. Now she has every luxury imaginable and lives at "the Palace" under the watchful eye of her father. As Eliza sees girls come and go from the opulent Palace, she starts to suspect that her life may be little more than a gilded cage. Meanwhile, Jack Ryder is the FBI's most successful operative against international human trafficking; his newest operation will force him to confront personal demons--including his brother's death on a beach in Belize. Kingsbury ("Baxter Family" series) tackles her subject with sensitivity, weaving a daring story of love and redemption. VERDICT It's good to see Kingsbury stretching her literary muscles to address trafficking from a Christian perspective. Her loyal readers will appreciate that she takes care to write honestly without graphic imagery. For fans of Charles Martin's The Water Keeper.--Christine Barth, Scott Cty. Lib. Syst., IA
