Protected

When Erin Jacobs receives a desperate call in the middle of the night, she thinks she is rescuing an animal. But from the beginning, this case is not what she expected.

Erin Jacobs doesn't hesitate to jump into rescue mode when she receives a desperate call in the middle of the night. As owner of the Noah's Ark Animal Shelter, it's her job to rehabilitate and find new homes for animals. But from the moment she answers the phone, she knows that this case is different.

A woman's frantic plea.
Directions to a deserted hunter's cabin.
The demand that she come alone.
All culminate into the moment when she is standing on a dilapidated porch in the middle of the woods and looking down into a washtub at an infant child.

Erin's life changes irrevocably in that moment. She finds herself ensnared in a web of confusion that includes a mother who has lost all hope, an orphaned child, millions of dollars, and a father who might do anything to get his hands on the money.

Social worker Travis Williams is assigned to her case. Travis sees more in Erin than someone who rescues strays. She's unconventional, strong-willed, and caring. It could be that she would make the perfect parent for Josh.

But before he can work through his feelings and file his report, the situation takes another dangerous turn. Can Erin and Travis guarantee Josh's safety? To do so, they'll need to rely on one another, their families, and the faith of their childhood.

And above all, they'll need to make sure that this orphaned child is Protected.
