Marla

Marla Reyes went to the desert to give vaccines to children. Eleven days later she is praying in a cinderblock room for the man guarding her door. Tomás Delgado has a cross tattooed on his arm and a debt he agreed to pay when he was nineteen and stupid. He is not supposed to bring her water. He is not supposed to bring her a Bible. He does it anyway, and every small disobedience costs him more of the life he built. She doesn't try to convert him. She asks his name. She prays out loud where he can hear it. She refuses, day after day, to be afraid of him. On the ninth night he does the one thing that ends his old life and possibly hers. A Christian captive romance about a faith that holds under pressure and a man who has to lose everything before he can come home. No explicit content.
