FLICKER OF TRUST

When a woman disappears, Ryan's past emerges.

Party animal Ryan Hainstock has made an about-face. He’s now an elder-caring, money-saving, church-going man with bright plans to set himself up farming. Somehow, whether he rates with her or not, those plans always include sweet and smart Lynnie Min and her young daughter. Problem is, Ryan’s past keeps coming back to condemn him.

Lynnie Min, too young for the title of widow, travels the lonely road of single motherhood in a rural community. Her dreams were crushed by tragedy when terrorists claimed the lives of her husband and one of her daughters. While gratitude should fill her heart for the presence of three-year-old Anya, a longing for something more stirs within her. She can’t help noticing the changes in Ryan, a man she once knew as a high school jock.

While their affection deepens, greater forces conspire to destroy their growing love. A murder charge, a kidnapping, a child abandoned…Can Ryan and Lynnie overcome danger and distrust to find each other again?

"This book is a great read that hooks you on the first page and doesn't let go. It has just the right amount of drama, suspense, and a murder mystery that will keep you guessing until the end. Ryan and Lynnie's story is so much more than a sweet romance. It's a powerful story of overcoming your past, learning to trust, forgiveness and God's redemption and grace. I loved this book and highly recommend it."
