Imagine closing your eyes to say a desperate prayer, then opening them again to behold a stranger standing before you, a man with piercing blue eyes, a gray countenance, and growling voice, who brings swift justice down upon your attackers. Then, imagine learning that your defender is Cody Musket, Houston Astros third baseman and a decorated US Marine who has arrived at the theater only because his game scheduled for that night has been rained out.

In an on-going game of danger and suspense, Cody tries to protect her from further assault, but she risks her own life to save the only man she has ever loved. An unforgettable tale of honor, sacrifice, courageous love and finding faith. Historical fiction containing real events. Heart warming, tragic, funny, inspirational. A feel-good story.
