Fans of JoAnn Ross will be thrilled with this addition to
her Shelter Bay series. The characters are interesting and
entertaining. The plot is complicated and riveting. It's
the type of book that a reader will be reluctant to put down
once started. Ms. Ross always delivers a wonderful story
but this one delivers even more than expected. Masterfully
plotted and executed, this book kept me engrossed from
beginning to end.
Your first love never really fades away.
Former Navy SEAL Sax Douchett has returned home to the
small coastal town of Shelter Bay, Oregon, determined to
put war behind him and get on with his life—which is
easier said than done when everyone is hailing the former
bad boy as a local hero. Adjusting to a new beginning
becomes even more difficult when he unearths a long-buried
secret that, in turn, reunites him with a cherished part
of his past that he’s never forgotten.
Drawn back into his life is Sheriff Kara Conway, his best
friend’s girl for a long as he can remember---a girl who
always held a special place in Sax’s heart. But as he
cautiously reconnects with Kara and bonds with her young
son, another long-held secret in Shelter Bay threatens
their second chance at a forever-after love.
