Shield of Justice

She built a refuge for the broken. Now it's hiding something deadly. When Lila Bennett's women's outreach center becomes linked to a string of missing persons cases, her world shatters overnight. The place she trusted-the place her mother once poured her heart into-may have been used to funnel vulnerable women into something far darker. FBI Special Agent Ethan Cole doesn't believe in coincidences-or second chances. Haunted by a case he couldn't save, he's determined not to fail again. But the deeper he digs into Lila's world, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Because this isn't just a local crime. It's a network. And someone powerful is still pulling the strings. As threats close in and trust becomes a risk, Lila and Ethan must work together to uncover the truth before more women disappear. But with every step forward, the line between justice and survival blurs-and Ethan is forced to confront the one thing he's been running from: Faith. In a fight where not everyone can be saved, will they learn to trust God and each other before it's too late?
