Now and Always by Lori Copeland

Katie Addison’s big heart shows in her caring deeds: opening her home to abused women. Rehabilitating injured horses. Helping Warren Tate mend his broken heart. It’s only Sheriff Ben O’Keefe who can’t seem to get Katie’s attention. When mysterious events turn Katie to Ben for help, is this the chance he’s been waiting for?

Publisher’s Description:

Very few things distract Katie Addison when she’s on a mission, whether it’s opening her home to abused women, rehabilitating injured horses, or helping tall, gorgeous Warren Tate mend his broken heart. But when financial difficulties pile up for her, Katie hesitantly admits she herself may need help. Since his fiancé left him, Warren is done with women—especially independent women, which he’d guess describes Katie Addison to a tee. Reluctantly he agrees to help Katie with her financial troubles. But when his budget doesn’t include Katie’s daily lattes, Warren realizes he may have a challenging client on his hands. Meanwhile, Sheriff Ben O’Keefe can’t seem to get Katie’s attention. Everyone in town knows he has had a longstanding crush on her. But to Katie, Ben is just Ben. When mysterious events turn Katie to him for help, is it the chance Ben has been waiting for?

Conspiracy in Kiev by Noel Hynd

A shrewd investigator and an expert marksman, Special Agent Alexandra LaDuca can handle any case the FBI gives her. Or can she? Connecting the dots between an assassination attempt in Ukraine, a murder in Paris, and a brutal attack on a remote village in South America takes Alex on a dangerous puzzle-solving, soul-searching journey that changes her forever.

Publisher’s Description:

This action-packed thriller introduces Special Agent Alexandra LaDuca—she knows how to handle a gun, likes her skirts short, can turn heads, and can fight hand-to-hand or instep-to-jaw when necessary. Alex has risen to the top of her field by being aggressive, relentless, and thorough. She’s fluent in five languages, stubborn as a bulldog and not above a personal vendetta. But her innate sense of justice and the basic principles of her Christian upbringing have always been enough to help her face any challenge. Until now. Temporarily on loan to an enforcement agency of the Department of the Treasury, Alex is tapped to be an undercover agent during a visit to Kiev by the new U.S. President. Her assignment: to keep personal watch on Yuri Federov, the most charming and most notorious gangster in the region. Against her better judgment—and fighting a feeling that she’s being manipulated by someone—she leaves for Ukraine. But there are more parts to this dangerous mission than anyone suspects, and connecting the dots takes Alex across three continents and through some life-altering discoveries about herself, her work, her faith, and her future.
