About this ebook

For Sterling, encountering Toby and the others at the Haven feels like a glimpse of redemption. He is adrift, trapped between the shadows of his past and the foggy uncertainty of his present. The proximity to his mother’s farm, now under his aunt’s control, only heightens his unease. Many years ago she had cast him into the foster system, and now he faces a choice: continue on in silence or confront the storm brewing dangerously close. Does he really want to fully engage in this looming conflict and to stand firm to the end? Doesn’t he have enough on this plate already?

Lindsay arrives at the Haven with cautious hope, seeking to verify its promise. She is no stranger to the struggles of small rescues, and the possibility of a new ally offers a glimmer of relief. Meeting Sterling—and realizing he might be the cousin her friend had never known—adds layers of complexity to the situation. The revelation of his tangled past and the simmering current tensions only deepens the intrigue.

The impending clash promises to be brutal, and, as the stakes rise, two questions linger. Who would emerge unscathed? And could love find a way amid the chaos?

Haven is back with a new member and a sweet love story along the way. If you’re an animal lover or just an avid reader this is a fantastic series. Some drama and suspense. These ex military men come together to form their own family. Another winner!!

We need more books like this to set an example of life! Sterling has had more drama than anyone should go through starting with his aunt tossing him into the foster system when he was 8 years old and she took over his mom's home. Upon Sterling's arrival at The Haven, he met Lindsey and this story begins. Past, present and future all mixed together for a great read. A perfect heartwarming story with delightful characters you would be lucky to call friends. A few bad guys thrown in for good m

About the author

Dale Mayer is a USA Today bestselling author who writes for the young, the old and those in-between – no matter what the age. Some of her books are hot, some are sweet. Some will keep you up at night with a light on to keep the boogie man away and some you’ll want to cuddle close.

She’s long given up on trying to fit a specific genre. Instead she honors the stories that come to her – and some of them are crazy, break all the rules and cross multiple genres!

And that’s okay too.

There is one guarantee with each book – it will be a great read – each and every time.
