Life is normal for Ruby in the pretty, rural jungle. She plays with her sister. She helps her mother cook. But her heart weighs heavy with grief when a deadly virus plagues her father, forcing her to go hunting without him.
Hope seems lost, and Ruby shuns all beckons that Jesus is good, even when her sister finds a mysterious book about him.
But when her father's condition worsens, she finds herself on a mission to find an American doctor abiding in a tree fort. The trek is difficult. Wildlife isn't helping. Ruby and her sister are chased by angry gorillas who seem to be upset she killed one of theirs. To make matters worse, a raging river and sucking mud is dividing them from their destination.
Ruby's sister becomes her top priority when a deadly anaconda separates the two. And even though she tries to ignore it, someone seems to be watching them. Protecting them. Maybe her doubts about Jesus were wrong. And maybe she needs him more than she thinks. Especially, if he can help her survive the jungle and get the medicine back home.

To Keep You
Love is a treacherous snare. It lures you in with sweetness, intoxicates you, convinces you that surrender is safety. Like a mosquito drawn to blood, you crave it even as it drains you. Like honey to a bear, it promises comfort while hollowing you out. And when you're weakest, it strikes with venom sharp enough to kill. Love has tried to claim me too, fixing its gaze on me like a lone star against a midnight sky. But I've learned its patterns. I know its games. I will not be ensnared again. Love may feast on the naive, on the hopeful, on those who believe it cannot harm them. I am not one of them. I am an oleander, beautiful and deadly, guarding my heart with quiet precision. Come too close and you will taste the poison of my warning. I will protect myself, even if love calls it cruelty. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Second Book In 'To Love A Godly Man ' series. This book can not be read as a stead alone. You must read To Know You first. This story does contain some vulgar words because of how the characters are designed and how they impact the story. Cover was designed by me.Complete
