FRAMED!
For years after the suspicious death of his wife, single dad Wyatt Monroe isolates himself on his Wyoming ranch...until he’s accused of murder. With a body at his doorstep, he’s arrested and Wyatt has only one hope—a blue-eyed, blond bodyguard. But it’ll take more than skill for work-obsessed Jackie Blain to save her reluctant client, who just wants to be left alone. She’ll have to gain his trust by keeping him and his daughter safe. With their lives in her hands, Jackie is faced with her toughest assignment ever—saving the cowboy and guarding her heart.
On the surface Jackie looked sweet, almost fragile....
But Wyatt had glimpsed the hard steel beneath that soft exterior. A bodyguard. Who would’ve thought it?
“So tell me about the dead man,” she said.
“I didn’t kill him.”
“Didn’t say you did.”
He pointed to a dirt road up ahead. “Take a left.”
Jackie turned, her gaze straying to the rearview. “We’re being followed.”
He might think the woman was paranoid or crazy. But considering this morning he’d found a dead body on his porch and spent the past seven hours in jail, he wasn’t going to doubt her. Sticking his head out the window, he strained to listen. “A motorcycle.”
“Hang on!” She stomped on the brake and twisted the wheel, sending the truck into a spin and coming to a halt facing the way they’d come. Their headlights swept over an oncoming motorcycle...moving at a good clip and heading straight for them.

But Jesus called the children to him and said,
“Let the little children come to me,
and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth,
anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
—Luke 18:16,17
To my children—you are the joys of my life.
