The man who destroyed her is now her only protection.
Millie Anderson has learned the hard way that love can be a trap. After years of abuse at the hands of her charming, controlling ex-husband, she’s finally free—but not safe. With nowhere else to turn, she arrives at Refuge Cove, a hidden sanctuary in the Blue Ridge Mountains where women can disappear with their beloved dogs.
What she doesn’t expect is to find Caleb King waiting there to welcome her.
The man who once promised her forever and then vanished without explanation is now the one standing between her and danger. He says he wants to protect her. But trust is a luxury Millie can’t afford—not when her past is hunting her and mysterious incidents are escalating at the Cove.
Millie and Caleb must confront their painful history while racing to uncover the truth. But some secrets are worth killing for—and some second chances come with a deadly price.

"Starting over was possible. Believing in herself enough to do it - that was the part that took practice."
Finally deciding to seek refuge away from all connections to her abusive ex-husband, Millie Anderson arrives at the secluded house of refuge in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains only to discover that it is owned and operated by Caleb King, a face from her past who represents a previous phase of deep heartache. Sensing Millie's distress at his presence, Caleb assures her that the property is secure and that Refuge Cove is a place where she can breathe easier without the anxiety of constantly looking over her shoulder. As it turns out, nothing could be further from the truth.
This second chance romance is riddled with speed bumps and pot holes that jar the reader to the point of no return in certain instances, yet step-by-step Millie and Caleb yield to the hope that they have been reunited for a reason.
A nice start to a new series!
