Rebel is hiding his fear. Serenity is hiding her insecurity. And then there’s Brian, who makes the other hiders look like amateurs.

When Rebel Montaine becomes the long-awaited new head of the maintenance department at St. Ninian’s retreat center, he’s treated like a celebrity. While he knows he can do the work, he’s not sure about the people part. How can a guy who recently escaped a life of crime possibly hold this important a role at a ministry center?

After working at the maintenance department for a month, Serenity Lawson is lonely. She keeps a low profile, certain if anyone discovers her bold, loud, goofy self, she’ll be rejected. Strangely, Rebel immediately sees through her, and she sees through him, and friendship grows.

Then they befriend long-time staffer Brian Coeur, who’s been falling through the cracks on the island from the beginning. He needs an enormous rescue if he’s going to make it. Neither Serenity nor Rebel feel up to the task, but if they succeed, they might unearth the hidden treasure that is Brian and heal themselves in the process.

They might also get to save a few lives, because a battle like this one will take a toll on everyone on St. Ninian’s island.
