Detecting Danger (Refuge Cove Book 1)

He broke his promise of forever. Now he’s the one standing between her and danger .

Millie Anderson learned the hard way that love comes with consequences. After years of abuse at the hands of her controlling ex-husband, she's finally free—but not safe. With nowhere else to turn, she flees to Refuge Cove, a shelter hidden in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where women can find sanctuary along with their beloved dogs.

When Millie arrives, she expects to find protection. What she doesn't expect is to find Caleb King waiting there to welcome her. He broke her heart years ago. Now he wants her to trust him to keep her safe. But trust is a luxury Millie can’t afford—not when her past is closing in and unsettling incidents begin to plague the Cove.

Millie and Caleb must confront their painful history while racing to uncover the truth. Because someone is willing to kill to keep their secrets buried . . . and some second chances come with a deadly price.
