Reviews by Michelle
Former Army Ranger turned elite bodyguard Juliette Montgomery never forgot fellow solider Caleb Styles—or her feelings for him. But when the guy saved her life, it cost them their relationship.
Caleb hasn’t forgotten her either. But he has no idea she also lives in Savannah, Georgia, where he’s the guardian of his niece after her parents were killed. Then he discovers that his brilliant niece’s computer skills have attracted a notorious hacker group. Enter his need for the Elite Guardians.
Between heart-pounding foot chases down River Street, daring underwater exploits off Tybee Island, and climactic showdowns at Forsyth Fountain, the Elite Guardians pursue justice, keep secrets safe, and sacrifice everything for the sake of those they’ve sworn to protect.

God is writing each one of our stories. It may be messy, but if we wait on
Him and submit to his plan for our lives, he will write a better ending than we ever could.
“I’d like to add that you can’t experience that something better
if you don’t know God in the first place. And knowing Him starts by believing He sent His Son
Jesus to die in your place and pay the price for all since—past, present, and future. All He asks of
us is to believe in Him as our Savior. From there, we begin a daily walk with Him to know Him
more and to live for Him.”
