Sanctuary — Lindsay McKenna

SECRETS FROM THE PAST…
Shy country girl Teren Lambert is used to being in the background…and she likes it that way. Trapped by painful memories, she feels whole only when she's helping the women and children at the Delos Charity's Safe House in Sudan. But her new bodyguard, Ex-Delta Force operator Nolan Steele, is having an unexpected impact on her--and she's not sure where these new feelings will take them both. He's become her sanctuary.
 
Steele is no stranger to living with personal loss, and he never wants to relive it again. That's why he guards his heart as strongly as he guards his clients' lives. But he's captivated by Teren's quiet beauty, and haunted by the pain in her dark eyes. He's on a mission to protect Teren and her charges at the Delos Charity's Safe House, but can he protect his heart at the same time? Or will he find the courage to love again?
