In the Shadow of the Cross

He stepped in to save her life. God stepped in to save his. Lucas Bonham never imagined God's grace would break into his life through a moment of courage-shielding a terrified woman from the man trying to destroy her. But in that instant, he feels a stirring he thought he'd lost forever: the quiet voice of God calling him back. Mercie Halford is the last person he expected to protect-the daughter of a prominent pastor, now running from a past wrapped in secrets.
Lucas sees her fear, but he also sees hope for her, from God. He offers Mercie a hidden refuge, a place where compassion replaces judgment and safety replaces fear. As days pass, their connection deepens, and Lucas begins to pray that God might use him to help Mercie reclaim the light she once carried. But the shadows pursuing her refuse to let go. And as the truth of her past begins to unravel, Lucas finds himself in the middle of a spiritual war he never saw coming.
When betrayal strikes, Lucas is left shattered, but not without faith. Because he knows now what he once doubted: God's love is relentless, even when people run from it.
