A Man of Honor

Author: Loree Lough

First Responders Book #3

Dusty and Grace find love together, but will it be enough to pull them through tragedy?

On a steamy spring morning, Dusty Parker—part-time pastor, part-time search-and-rescue team member, and full-time administrator of a school for troubled boys—joins the search for a missing teenage girl. He partners with volunteer and inner-city school teacher Grace Sinclair, and what they find bonds them in ways neither could have expected.

As they begin to build their lives together, a visitor from the past causes Dusty and Grace to further open their hearts and home. But a threat is looming on their seemingly perfect lives and in one terrifying night, everything changes.

Reviews

“Loree Lough has given us another great story in her First Responders Series. Her characters are so endearing and full of faith. They all face trials and carry around emotional baggage, yet they put their faith and trust in God and in each other. It’s always a joy to catch up with characters from previous stories and see how their lives are developing. Each of her female characters in this series, Mercy, Honor and Grace certainly exhibit the characteristic of their names. You’ll laugh and cry at the ups and downs of her story, so beautifully developed. Don’t miss MAN OF HONOR or the First Responders series.” – FreshFiction.com

Loree Lough’s storytelling talent does not disappoint, as she weaves yet another dramatic tale wrought with plenty of seatbelt action, suspense, and romance.

“In this beautifully-woven story of love and loss, Lough delves below the surface lives of her characters to explore the deeper meaning—and calling—of honor. Be swept away in the compelling plot; be encouraged, as I am, by the message of hope.” – Gwen Ford Faulkenberry, author of Love Finds You in Romeo, Colorado, Love Finds You in Branson, Missouri, and three devotions, A Beautiful Life, A Beautiful Day, and Jesus, Be Near Me.

“Loree Lough brings A Man of Honor to her readers, and she delivers a woman of honor, as well. Although Grace and Dusty have endured and survived much in the past, both struggle to provide the care they know others in their lives deserve. Readers will experience friendship, tragedy, love, and the uplifting power of faith as they live the story right along with the characters. Loree has crafted yet another book that kept me turning pages all night long.” – Robin Bayne, author of ten novels/novellas, including Carol Award winner The Artist’s Granddaughter.

“Be prepared for one of Loree Lough’s most moving tales yet. The challenges Grace and Dusty face in A Man of Honor will plunge readers into moments of shattered innocence and tragic loss, in a search for truth, love, and healing, not only for themselves but for all the people that surround them. Book 3 in The First Responders Series, reminds readers that “…the greatest of these is love.” – Rita Gerlach, author of Surrender the Wind and other reader favorites
