The Water Keeper
Book 1 of the Murphy Shepherd series
Secretive Murphy Shepherd lives alone on a Florida island, tending an empty church while devoting himself to rescuing people others have stopped searching for. Mourning his mentor, he encounters desperate mother Summer and learns that traffickers have taken her daughter Angel aboard a yacht. Their pursuit down the waterways draws new allies into a mission where every delay carries a human cost. Urgent and emotional, this series opener suits readers who enjoy romantic suspense, skilled rescuers, coastal settings, faith-inflected themes, and action stories centered on bringing exploited women and children home.
