He carries the badge. She carries the light. When a beloved student goes missing, art teacher Kate McIntyre refuses to stand down. The symbol left behind—a serpent coiled around a cross—pulls her into the crosshairs of a ruthless network, and into the path of Detective Dan Martin, a man whose faith shattered the day his brother died.

In the heat and glare of Miami, Kate’s quiet courage meets Dan’s relentless drive. Together they form a fragile alliance to find the boy and protect a neighborhood slipping into fear. As danger closes in, Kate’s steadfast prayers and Dan’s hard-won instincts spark an unexpected tenderness—proving that sometimes the bravest love is the one that believes again.

The Guardian’s Prayer is a clean, faith-forward romantic suspense with a hopeful ending, vivid South Florida atmosphere, and themes of community, courage, and second chances. Perfect for readers of clean police romance, Christian romantic suspense, and inspirational small-town (big-city) heroes.
