One lonely day in Kansas farm country, a college professor enroute to a new job, encounters her biggest “surprise package” ever; a handsome, intelligent, faithful FBI agent, battered and mangled, and his equally battered and mangled government car at the side of the road. Kate soon finds herself enmeshed with Agent Gareth McFadyn's dark world of spies, terrorists, hackers and corrupt bureaucracies, and her planned road trip and career move ultimately are derailed. However, in the middle of this unforeseen mess and intrigue, Kate and Gareth together discover their similarities, and not their starkly different class backgrounds and upbringings. Together, the unlikely pair discover a deep and lasting companionship, a binding faith in their God, a passion for fun and adventure, and more importantly than not, a burning will to survive against all odds, when the evil machinations of terrorist leader Klaus Vogle, along with bad office politics, and the unscrupulous scheming of Gareth's industrial tycoon father, Andrew McFadyn. Thus begins the modern tale of a chivalrous knight and his fair, wise maiden. Follow agent Gareth “Dru” McFadyn and his “random” traveling companion, Kate Greenwood, on their odyssey of love, adventure, faith, morality, and patriotism in Counterstrike: Heaven Sent. Counterstrike: Heaven Sent The Short Book follows Kate from the cornfield in Kansas, where she meets a bloodied Agent Gareth, hints at the scummy office politics of the Denver FBI Office, continues with the perilous journey back to Washington DC, introduces Agent Gareth's both brilliant and eccentric tech team at the FBI's secret Section Six, and concludes with Kate's own bitter and nasty career drama in DC. The Short Book reveals a bit more of the dark, lonely, and troubled personal and romantic histories of Kate and Agent Gareth, as they grow closer, against the vile backdrop of Klaus Vogle's cold blooded terrorism and murder plots. It follows the unlikely pair with a more in depth look at Gareth's tech team at Section Six, a brief introduction to his “father” figure at the CIA, the serene, but adventurous lifestyle of Gareth's Sister, Allie, and husband, is followed up with a scandalous and messy social outing at the Connecticut Estate of Gareth's real father, wild and dangerous adventures in Upstate New York, then wraps up with cold, wet, and bloody disasters in coastal Scotland. The Short Book concludes the bloody Scotland adventure, followed by a legal misunderstanding in New York, and more bad career melodrama back in Washington DC. It continues with a horseback ride in the Appalachian Mountains, and a nighttime showdown at the nation's most famous Lighthouse Park. It follows up with further deep and dark intrigues, leading to a fabulous Episcopal Wedding near San Francisco Harbor, and ultimately reaching the thrilling and exciting climax of Counterstrike: Heaven Sent. Note: This is The Short Book of Counterstrike: Heaven Sent, with minimal non-fictional extras. To get the “full meal deal”, please buy “The Long Book” edition, or the four volume Minibook edition, with exclusive content in Book Four: Non-Fiction.

A sweet romance from USA Today Bestselling author Shanna Hatfield

One mail-order bride discovers

The courage to love

Desperate to better a hopeless situation, Aundy Thorsen leaves behind her life in Chicago to fulfill a farmer’s request for a mail-order bride in Pendleton, Oregon. A tragic accident leaves her a widow soon after becoming a wife. Aundy takes on the challenge of learning how to manage a farm, wrangle demented chickens, and raise sheep, even though her stubborn determination to succeed upsets a few of the neighbors.

Born and raised on the family ranch, Garrett Nash loves life in the bustling community of Pendleton in 1899. When his neighbor passes away and leaves behind a plucky widow, Garrett takes on the role of Aundy’s protector and guardian. His admiration for her tenacious spirit soon turns to something more. He just needs to convince the strong-willed Aundy to give love another try.

Sweet and sprinkled with humor, Aundy illustrates that courage sometimes arrives in a petticoat and love has a mind of its own.
