The sea surged and pulled stinging her with its coldness. Navy SEAL Lieutenant Joe 'Bear' Baker plucked Kelly from the raging sea when she had nearly given up hope. She'd known she would come - he was her best friend - and she clung for all she was worth to the safe haven found in his arms.
Kelly had already paid the ultimate price of loving a warrior. She had the folded flag and the grateful thanks of a nation to prove it. She didn't dare risk loving another man in uniform.

They're about to discover that God is a refuge, because this time there may be no rescue. Abridged. Read by Todd McLaren. 4 cassettes. 400 minutes.
