The Man of the Desert Book

Jana Cutrere's plans are clear cut. Return home to Vancleave, Mississippi. Obtain property from her grandfather to start a wildlife rescue center. Make a fresh start and a better life for herself and her two children, Ty and LeeLee.

Grant Gonzalez, having recently abandoned the corporate circus, has also come home to Vancleave - with the sole purpose of starting a hunting camp. The property he has earmarked for his dream is none other than that Jana wants for her wildlife center. But good old Grandpa's taking his own sweet time making a decision. Will the old man carry through with his half-promise to sell the land to Grant, or deed it to his widowed granddaughter, though he has no sympathy for her purpose?

While the adults hurry up and wait, the kids fall in love with Grant, even as they wrap him around their little fingers. Jana's own wounded heart shows unsettling signs of response, but she firmly quells its silly stirrings. How can a relationship between her and Grant ever work? He hunts and kills the animals she loves and feels morally bound to protect. Besides, the two of them are vying for Grandpa's property with wildly opposite goals in mind.

The only thing they seem to have in common is their allegiance to God - and even in that arena, they both have lessons to learn. Will they trust Him enough to let Him work things out for them? Or will rampant emotions and stubborn wills destroy their chance at love?

Fair Game is a frolicking adventure through a down-home paradise of sometimes friendly, sometimes feuding folks and furry friends. From crotchety old Grandpa to adorable little LeeLee, the characters live and breathe. This is masterful storytelling that readers won't soon forget - nor will they wish to. Elizabeth White's aim is unerring - she definitely hit the bull's-eye with this one!
