After years of preparing for marriage, Catalina Santé is interested in little more than making a good match. And why not? She's young, beautiful, educated... everything a wealthy man should want. However, a tragic accident will leave her with less than a marriage proposal - she's fighting for her very life! Matthew Martin spends most of his time just trying to fit into American society. It's one of the reasons he became a deputy. Willing to risk it all in order to protect Catalina, he can't imagine what that entails... until she's abducted and sold to a Mexican saloon, where a border battle rages between two towns. Can love and faith survive in such a harsh place? Will Matthew even be able to save Catalina? \*Please note: This book is the first of several in the historical suspense series, The Jericho Resistance, which attempts to fight modern day slavery.
