Miller is the last Englishman. It's not a title he enjoys because it means that whenever the looters and the treasure hunters come across the Atlantic to the ruins of his country, it's his job to hunt them down.

Miller soon finds himself helping a former US Ranger, Claudia Riley, hunt for her missing nephew who's disappeared somewhere in England.

The premise of this book is very simple. If you're breathing, if you have a pulse, if your heart's desire is to experience more of God, then you are qualified to do business with him.

Trust me when I tell you that the God of Heaven and Earth is looking to commune with average, everyday citizens. It is the birthright of every person on the planet to connect with the creator in prayer.

Maybe I knew him. Maybe he's been around for a while. Maybe this is the beginning of a beautiful story - a romance full of hope and second chances and love.
