Gideon's Gate by L C Maloy
He Built His World to Keep Everyone Out. Until She Came Over the Fence.
He wanted to be left alone. She was running for her life. And the storm was only the beginning.
Ten years after the devastating loss of his wife, former military man Gideon Hayes has shut out the world, retreating to 100 secluded acres in rural Florida. No visitors. No questions. No second chances. Just isolation and the ghosts of a past he can't escape.
Until a terrified young woman appears at his gate, fleeing armed men with deadly intentions.
But it's not just the danger chasing her that stops Gideon in his tracks. She looks hauntingly like the wife he buried ten years ago.
Against his better judgment, Gideon takes her in. And with that one decision, the quiet life he's fought so hard to protect begins to unravel.
A Category 4 hurricane is bearing down. Communications are going dark. His property is under siege. And the men hunting the young woman have a far more personal reason for coming after Gideon.
Now, with the storm raging around him and danger closing in from every direction, Gideon must face the past he thought he'd buried forever.
Some storms come from the sky. Others come straight from the past.
And this one may cost him everything.
