Best-selling inspirational author Dee Henderson pens a wholesome military romance that demonstrates how Navy SEALs take care of their own. Caught in a riptide Kelly hovers near hypothermia. In her delirium, she sees her dead husband. She also sees Joe, his best friend and fellow SEAL. Like a guardian angel, Joe has been her rock of support during her years as a widow. Before losing consciousness, she gasps: "Lord, let him rescue me and I'll admit I love him." But will she end up in the grasp of the suave arms-smuggler who killed her husband or in the tender embrace of the hero whose friendship she may lose by confessing her love?

"This is a Christian novel about a widow who falls in love with her husband's best friend. The author did a great job at making the reader feel Bear's conflicting emotions. Good tension between characters. The situation with the antagonist was a little different, but I won't spoil it by saying."

" good story. right amount of action and romance. enough action for me, enough romance for my wife to enjoy "
— Dane, 10/4/2017" As a Navy wife, I found it hard to relate to this book. Not because it was about a guy in the Navy Seals but because it just didn't ring all that true to my experience as a normal Navy wife. Sure it got some things right, but the elements needed to tie together in this book had me shaking my head trying to suspend my disbelief. It has a Christian perspective that at times felt a bit preachy to me. Overall a quick read for passing time at the beach or soccer practice but I'm not rushing out to read more by this author. "

— Deborah, 1/29/2014" I love it so far! The military life of a Navy SEAL, holding on to faith through life's most tragic moments, learning how to fall in love once again, and figuring out the victim of a serious smuggling mission; keeps you glued to the pages. "
