Sheltering You - Patchen, Robin

. .

Résumé :
In the sleepy town of Shadow Cove, Maine, a woman's desperate flight becomes a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse. After escaping Iraq with her twin sister, Jasmine seeks refuge from Qasim, the terrorist she was forced to marry. She's determined to carve out a safe haven in this peaceful coastal town for herself and her unborn child. But her polygamous husband's relentless pursuit threatens to shatter her fragile world, leaving her with nowhere to hide. Enter Derrick, a guardian angel in the guise of a friend. Drawn to Jasmine's quiet strength, Derrick vows to shield her from harm, even as the boundaries of friendship blur into something deeper. Unaware of Jasmine's secret, he agrees to help her rescue and hide another Iraqi refugee woman and her younger brother in the US. Derrick will do anything for Jasmine, his heart yearning for a connection she refuses to embrace. All the while, Qasim is closing in. He took Jasmine as his second wife for one reason, and she carries that reason her womb. Once his heir is born, nothing will stop Qasim from bringing him home to his beloved first wife and disposing of Jasmine-and he will take out anybody else who stands in his way. Join the Wright Heroes of Maine for an edge-of-your-seat international romantic suspense that takes you on the run with a heroine in hiding, a secret baby, and unrequited love. ...

Robin Patchen is a USA Today bestselling and award-winning author of Christian romantic suspense.

Thankfully, as her children grew, so did her writing ability. Now that her kids are adults, she has more time to play with the lives of fictional heroes and heroines, wreaking havoc and working magic to give her characters happy endings. When she's not writing, she's editing or reading, proving that most of her life revolves around the twenty-six letters of the alphabet.
