Operation: Restoration: A Christian Romantic Suspense with Former Military Heroes, Found Family, and Redemption (Wayside Ranch Book 1)

After years in the military, Junior Morrison joins Wayside Ranch, a sanctuary run by former warriors dedicated to rescuing women fleeing human trafficking. His mission is to serve and protect while keeping his past buried—especially his connection to Gabby Loftens, a woman he once loved and left. Gabby now works as a counselor helping trafficking survivors. When she unknowingly sends a victim back to her captor, the mistake triggers a deadly hunt. A ruthless man is coming for the girl and anyone protecting her. When the threat reaches Wayside Ranch, Junior becomes Gabby's protector. Old feelings resurface as they face danger neither anticipated. Junior is determined not to fail Gabby again. Their adversary, however, will stop at nothing to reclaim what he believes belongs to him. As danger closes in on the ranch, Junior and Gabby must confront the wounds that separated them, trust in God, and stand together against a threat aimed at destroying their second chance.
