About the Book
Book: Shattered Guilt
Author: Kathleen Robison
Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense
Release date: June 15, 2021
When they told her about Southern hospitality, no one mentioned human trafficking.
The move to Bay Town, Mississippi was supposed to be a fresh start for single-mom Melanie and her daughter, Lacy. The quiet Southern town offers a nice relief after the frenetic-paced life of Los Angeles, but something sinister lurks beneath the surface.
Her bridal business struggles to take off, and instead of turning to the Lord, Melanie makes a desperate plea for help–from her ex-husband. Lacey and a friend are attacked, and while Lacey is hospitalized, her friend goes missing—a victim of human trafficking out of New Orleans.
With her ex-husband showing true signs of repentance, the pastor she’d begun to fall for taking a step back, and her daughter’s friend lost to the animals who stole her, Melanie goes on a desperate, dangerous mission to rescue the girl and get their lives back.
And she’ll do it with or without the Lord’s help.
How can Melanie find the girls and rescue them without getting caught herself? Why can’t she trust the Lord to keep them all safe, and which man in her life is the right one–if either?
Read this heart-gripping, pulse-racing novel and see how the Lord’s hand is on us, even when He seems so very far away.
BOOK EXCERPT
Melanie took a seat behind her desk. “Well, I’m the coordinator,” she said, pointing to herself. “Me. The planner. I do all the weddings.” A nervous giggle escaped.
The pastor smiled and nodded.
Melanie sunk into her chair. He thinks I’m an idiot. They’d only ever spoken at church and church events, so this was a first. They were both newcomers to Bay Town when they’d met a year or so ago, and secretly, she wanted to get to know him better, but it hadn’t happened. Melanie shuffled a few papers, picked up and set down her pen, and folded her hands.
His kind eyes stared back, and she felt herself flush.
He broke his gaze. “So, there’s a young couple who needs help with their wedding. But I’m afraid they don’t have much in their budget.”
Melanie’s heart dropped. Budget. That meant almost for free, and that was no way to grow a business. A struggling business. She stared. Thick, dark hair, piercing eyes, and chiseled jaw. Heck, he even had the dimple. Why not? Melanie sighed again. Maybe, just this once.
