Shield
Angela Wolbert - 2010
Working to convert an old warehouse into a shelter for the needy was her life, her way of quieting the ghosts of her past. She didn't have anything else. Until she meets Miller Locklin. With his disheveled appearance and bright blue eyes that seem to see right into her soul, Miller draws her to him with an almost inexplicable force. Equally strange is how he seems to be similarly drawn to her, almost like he needs her. But there's something very different about him, something she can't put her finger on. He knows too much. Things he has no way of knowing, sometimes even before they happen. Things no one could ever know . . .
