Protect & Defend

Description

Member of the U.S. Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment. Team leader for the FBI’s famed Hostage Rescue Team. Congressional Medal of Honor recipient. None of that, however, has prepared Jacob St. Christopher for the runaway teenager about to enter his life.

Homeless sixteen-year-old Amanda Applegate got involved. She doesn’t exactly know how she got herself involved. But that doesn’t matter to the Mafia. They want her dead before she remembers.

Enter a strange, shadowy man who seems to know a great deal about St. Christopher’s past, including the most painful times. Handing over a file folder, this man pitches a simple request. Help me locate Miss Applegate. You’ll have state-of-the-art technology at your disposal.

Staring at the teen’s picture, noticing her resemblance to someone dear to him, the thirty-five-year-old, six-two, retired military man once again feels the call to service. But if he intends to save Amanda from a powerful organized crime syndicate, he’ll need to do more than just draw upon his impressive combat skills. He’ll also need to set aside his demons.
