Baggage Claim (Hope Again Book 1)

Description

When single dad Ben Taylor tracks down his biological parents, he discovers a family tree with tangled roots and broken branches. Now, caught up in a dangerous network of fraud and deception, with his children at risk, he has to make hard choices about who to trust.

The last thing retired soldier Jonah Campbell expected was a son and four grandkids to come out of the woodwork—the results of a teenage fling nearly thirty years ago, but when his newly discovered son explains why his family needs to be hidden, Jonah is happy to open his home and get to know his grandkids.

Between college, his kids, and his job, Ben Taylor is already in way over his head.

Piece by piece, his busy-but-comfortable life crumbles as he becomes caught up in a dangerous network of fraud and deception at his workplace. Anxious to protect his children, he convinces their nanny to take them to their new grandfather while he navigates the danger at home.

On the run, Teresa Cooper resorted to a repulsive disguise to hide from her abusive husband and find a job as a nanny in a private home. Ten years later, her past can’t haunt her anymore, and she’s ready to move on, but her current employer is in desperate need of her services. She can’t abandon Ben and his motherless children.

Together, Jonah and Teresa are determined to protect the children from whatever may come. Jonah finds himself falling for the lovely and capable nanny who shares the faith he now treasures. Teresa is pleasantly surprised by the charming man her employer turned to for help.

No one expected the danger to find them in the backwoods of the Upper Peninsula, but secrets have a way of coming out. And no one can outrun their baggage.
