The Marine: A Goodwater Ranch Suspense Romance

By Amanda Lewis

"This is a contemporary romance that contains profound lessons of faith and portrays love's ability to heal beautifully. It is witty, intricate, and immersive. Highly recommended." - Edith Wairimu for Reader's Favorite

"It is refreshing to read any romance in which the characters have self-restraint and values, and they can sit and converse and deal with trust issues before acting on their mutual attraction. This book series shows that it is possible to write emotionally charged stories without compromising values and beliefs to make them sell.... interweaves belief and faith in Christ into the plot so that it feels natural and right. May we see more of these stories that reflect the values that Christians live by and want to read about." - Delene Vrey for Reader's Favorite

Chase Bondurant spent years running from his past the only way he knew how: by keeping his mind busy and his hands preoccupied. He moved to Goodwater Ranch, rebuilt his life and started his own business to put as much distance between himself and those memories as he possibly could.

But soon, his demons will come roaring back when he happens upon a chance encounter with Goodwater Ranch's mayoral candidate.

Ophelia Day has skeletons of her own, ones that she's been trying to bury beneath her political platform centered around sheltering abused and neglected women and children.
When she learns that the man behind her painful memories has escaped prison, Ophelia turns to the only place she feels safe: Chase Bondurant's arms.

Despite his best laid plans, Chase will be forced to make a choice: protect this woman he's strangely drawn to, or keep pretending everything's fine.
