Summary

2. FLAMES IN THE KALAHARI - RYK SCHOONRAAD SERIES
 
In the rugged landscapes of the North Western Province, Helm du Plessis has worked tirelessly to build a future for his daughter, Ansie. His six hundred prime oxen, the fruits of years of labor, represent hope and prosperity. But when Helm is brutally murdered by masked cattle rustlers, the once-peaceful village of Kameeldraai is thrust into chaos, gripped by fear and uncertainty.
 
Enter Ryk Schoonraad, a fearless, blue-eyed stranger whose reputation precedes him. As he learns of Helm’s tragic death, Ryk vows to bring the ruthless culprits to justice. However, Ansie, consumed by grief and a thirst for vengeance, refuses to stand by idly. Against Ryk’s advice, she insists on joining the perilous mission to avenge her father. Their journey leads them deep into the vast and unforgiving Kalahari Desert, where searing heat and treacherous terrain prove as dangerous as the criminals they pursue. The mission grows increasingly dire when Ryk is ambushed by a cunning member of the gang, leaving him gravely injured and fighting for his life. Meanwhile, Ansie’s determination draws her into the gang’s clutches, where she faces unimaginable danger amidst a raging veld fire.
 
As the desert’s trials push them to their limits, Ryk and Ansie’s paths cross once more. Bound by shared loss and a relentless drive for justice, they form an unlikely partnership. Together, they uncover a sinister plot involving stolen cattle and treachery that stretches beyond their borders. But the rustlers, led by the merciless Helmuth Braun and his sadistic right-hand man, Mertel Duvenhage, won’t go down without a fight. What follows is a gripping battle of cunning and courage, as Ryk and Ansie confront the gang in a breathtaking showdown. In this clash of justice versus brutality, the line between revenge and righteousness blurs, forcing them to question how far they are willing to go for justice.
 
With vivid characters, heart-pounding action, and a setting as vast and dangerous as the Kalahari itself, this story is a thrilling tale of resilience and redemption that will leave readers breathless.

Lauren is a dedicated first-grade teacher in Idaho, and her love for children has led her to the path of international adoption. To satisfy her adoption agency's requirements, she gladly agreed to remain single for the foreseeable future; however, just as her long wait comes to an end, Lauren is blindsided by a complication she never saw coming: Joshua Avery. 
     
    Joshua may be a substitute teacher by day, but Lauren finds his passion for creating educational technology as fascinating as his antics in the classroom.

    With an impossible decision looming, Lauren might very well find herself choosing between the two deepest desires of her heart . . . even if saying yes to one means letting go of the other.
