The Letter Keeper
Book 2 of the Murphy Shepherd series
Murphy Shepherd continues risking his life to find people stolen by human traffickers and bring them to safety. After rescues abroad and in Montana, a powerful enemy turns the violence toward Murphy and the refuge he has built at Freetown. Recovery forces him to accept care from others while his bond with Summer deepens and the people he loves remain exposed. Intense and compassionate, this second series installment suits readers who enjoy rescue thrillers, found family, sacrificial heroes, hard-won healing, and suspense that treats survivors' restoration as seriously as the action used to free them.
