Saving Grace: A Christian Romantic Suspense

by Madison Love

The man she left behind is now her only hope of staying alive.

Grace Atwood vanished from my life nearly three decades ago, leaving me heartbroken on the courthouse steps. Now, she’s back—using a pen name, hiding from an unknown enemy, and asking for my help. As a journalist who witnessed the murder of a whistleblower, she’s seen too much. And someone is trying to make sure she stays silent.

As a former Air Force Pararescueman turned elite protection specialist for the Southern Knights, I never thought I’d see Grace again—let alone be the one assigned to protect her. When our undercover mission takes us to Duskhaven, a sleepy small town with explosive secrets, we pose as husband and wife. Our infiltrate Noctira Weapons Systems, a local militia, and a community that doesn’t take kindly to outsiders.

Living under the same roof, working side by side, we discover that the embers of our past still burn bright. But trust is fragile, and forgiveness doesn’t come easy—especially when lives are on the line. With a growing conspiracy threatening national security and shadowy enemies watching our every move, our rekindled bond will be tested. It’s either going to break or be forged in fire.

When bullets fly and betrayals cut deep, we must rely on more than our instincts—we’ll have to lean on God’s guidance, the team of Southern Knights, and each other. Because the only thing more dangerous than uncovering the truth... is losing a second chance at love.

Perfect for fans of romantic suspense, this novel features heart-pounding action, emotional depth, and unshakable faith, delivering a thrilling ride that focuses on mercy and grace. This is a clean, kisses-only book free from cursing or promiscuity.

Another action pack book with faith, second chance, hidden identity, bad guys and so much more. Scott and Grace were definitely meant to meet again, maybe not the way they did, because after the way their relationship ended this was not the ideal plan. This book had action going on and on from every chapter. As book one, I definitely enjoyed everything that this story had to offer. Plus who doesn't like a second change, keeping your faith in God through it all and having an amazing team who won't give it up until they get everything done. Love it all !

Oh man. Full of interesting stuff! Always excited to hear of new inventions. What i liked best, was the faith aspects and the prayers. Can't wait to see the outcome of the next book too. I enjoyed how the "coerced" got helped too. All in all a really full on, second chance, close proximity story with added interest factors. Enjoyed it immensely!!!

This is the perfect story if you're looking for clean, Christian romantic suspense. The mission will keep you flipping pages to get to the bottom of what is going on, and the romance mixed with the banter and meddling friends will keep you rooting for the main characters.
I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series!

This is a great story that will quickly pull you in. After 27 years Grace wants a second chance—Scott is still hurt and bitter and not so sure. Add in assassins, FBI agents, militia, stolen guns and more will keep you reading, I found this an exciting read and highly recommend it.

So much to appreciate about this story! Most characters were easy to cheer on, the bad guys were just that, second chance at love, suspense and more. The handling of faith and second amendment rights was stellar. Now I have to wait for the next one…
