The Guardian Lorraine A. Lehto

Four year old Kenya Donnelly is making mud pies when she is bitten by a copperhead snake. As she lies in the grass, she is saved by a handsome man ? with wings! Is this the guardian angel of Kenya?s prayers? Michael assures Kenya he is no angel but agrees to be Kenya?s guardian, promising to be there to protect her whenever she needs him. When Kenya?s best friend Larry is injured, she begs Michael to save him. Trying to protect Kenya from the pain of losing Larry, Michael does what he thinks is best, sacrificing his own identity in the process. Through the following years, Michael falls in loves with Kenya. Although she loves him, she also loves and weds Larry. Meeting Larry?s long lost father and discovering he owns a diamond mine exposes a mystery involving an elusive pink diamond and the murder of a young woman in South Africa; a mystery that is threatening to take Kenya?s life. Michael must protect her, even if it drives Kenya away.
