Secrets of Sandpiper Shores: Beneath the Ashes (Cedar Key Second Chance Romance #2)
Amy Rafferty
She’s fighting to save the innocent. He’s afraid to feel again. But when fire strikes, their only chance… is each other.
Dr. Lacey Peltz has devoted her life to protecting Sandpiper Shores’ most vulnerable—injured wildlife and endangered species. But when an arsonist's fires creep closer to her sanctuary, she faces an impossible choice: evacuate animals who may not survive the stress, or risk losing them all.
Enter Dean Parker — a legendary retired fire chief, in town to honor the tenth anniversary of his son’s death. He didn’t come back to fight fires… or feel again. But when he sees the woman battling flames with bare-knuckled resolve, something in him stirs — and it’s not just duty.
As Lacey and Dean clash over how to protect what matters most, sparks fly in more ways than one. But grief runs deep, and letting go of the past may be the greatest risk of all.
Meanwhile, attorney June Carter is pulled into legal battles that threaten to stall fire prevention efforts — and as Holt lingers in town, so does the secret she’s still struggling to bury.
The fires are closing in. The sanctuary is the next target. And love might be the most dangerous—and powerful—force of all.
