A Step Beyond Protection - Protection Series, #1

Special Agent Raven Somers, of the United States Secret Service, is finally returning back to duty after having been gone for over ten months because of a frightening incident. Only she isn't the same strong, always smiling and laughing, joyful woman that left. Raven is still reeling from the sudden death of her father, which coincided with her leaving. Her father was the one that inspired her on her path with Jesus, and she is now struggling in the dark because her light has died.

Raven strives to get back into a routine with the only familiar thing she has left, her career, but she is in grave danger of losing that as well, and is plagued by a fear that is paramount to her livelihood. However, at every turn she encounters an elusive group of men, and one powerful man that is always right there in the center of them with his broad shoulders and comforting arms open to her. Her mind screams for her to run away, but her heart begs her to run towards him. Circumstances force her to do the unthinkable every time.

In this first novel of the Protection Series, the United States Secret Service's Counter Assault Team (CAT) go a step beyond just merely protecting their President and aide him when he delves into Raven's life at every opportunity. However, President Drake Hawk is forced to cling to his confidence in Jesus while he struggles to wait for her, and humbly finds out that as always only God's timing is perfect.
