Seeking Refuge Ruby Mae O'Dell

Running for her life, Joyce Watson has a very short list of people she can trust-God and herself. Because she has discriminating evidence against him, her pursuer will go to extreme measures to silence her before it's turned over to authorities. Despite the nosy sheriff living on the property, hunkering down at an isolated guest ranch feels like the safest option. Drawn to the handsome sheriff, she struggles to keep her heart under lock and key. What if he's working for her enemy and plotting a way to capture her? Sheriff Isaac Sawyer can't help but feel suspicious of the newest lodger at the Cascade Valley Guest Ranch. It's clear she's hiding something, but what? Her bright, blue eyes are so full of fear, his heart longs to take care of her; but Joyce doesn't trust him. Can he win her trust before her fears become reality? Will he be able to protect her without risking his heart? Murder, secrets, and danger throw Isaac and Joyce together. They must learn to trust God and each other to overcome the dark clouds of peril circling around them. Will evil prevail, or will God pull them through and kindle a love both believe is impossible?
