Raven's Cliff Series by Elle James, Kris Norris

One final flight. One impossible rescue. One chance to stop running. After a mission gone wrong shatters his team and nearly ends his life, retired Air Force pilot Foster Beckett returns to Raven’s Cliff, a sleepy coastal town where he hopes to lay low and start over. Alongside the last surviving members of his crew—men who’ve become more like brothers—he plans to rebuild, one quiet day at a time. No more flying. No more firefights. Just peace. But Raven’s Cliff has other plans... moreOne final flight. One impossible rescue. One chance to stop running. After a mission gone wrong shatters his team and nearly ends his life, retired Air Force pilot Foster Beckett returns to Raven’s Cliff, a sleepy coastal town where he hopes to lay low and start over. Alongside the last surviving members of his crew—men who’ve become more like brothers—he plans to rebuild, one quiet day at a time. No more flying. No more firefights. Just peace. But Raven’s Cliff has other plans. His former commander is building a search and rescue team, and Foster’s the final holdout. Then a late-night emergency throws him back into the air—and right into the orbit of Mackenzie Parker, a sharp-tongued former Coast Guard pilot who just happens to be the commander’s daughter. Their first flight together is a disaster. Their second encounter? Still undetermined—until Mackenzie stumbles into a break-in at Foster’s home. What seems like a random attack quickly escalates into something far more sinister. Someone is targeting Foster and his team, and the answer may lie buried in the past he’s tried so hard to forget. Now, with danger closing in and Mackenzie refusing to back down, Foster must confront everything he’s been running from. The guilt. The secrets. And the woman who’s become impossible to ignore. To protect what matters, he’ll have to do the one thing he swore he’d never do again—fly. less

He came to Raven’s Cliff for peace. What he found was a woman with secrets — and a target on her back. Kash Sinclaire never planned to retire. After two decades in the military — first as a Ranger, then as a K9 handler in a combat rescue unit — slowing down wasn’t in his DNA. But Raven’s Cliff, Oregon, with its quiet crags and cold surf, offered something he hadn’t known he needed — stillness. Joining Raven’s Watch, the town’s elite search and rescue team, is the easy part... moreHe came to Raven’s Cliff for peace. What he found was a woman with secrets — and a target on her back. Kash Sinclaire never planned to retire. After two decades in the military — first as a Ranger, then as a K9 handler in a combat rescue unit — slowing down wasn’t in his DNA. But Raven’s Cliff, Oregon, with its quiet crags and cold surf, offered something he hadn’t known he needed — stillness. Joining Raven’s Watch, the town’s elite search and rescue team, is the easy part. Asking out Jordan Archer? Not so much. The guarded waitress from the Lighthouse Café is sweet, careful, and way too skilled at handling trouble. Kash knows there’s more to her than small-town charm — her reflexes are military sharp, her lies too practiced. But he figures whatever she’s running from can stay buried. Until it doesn’t. When a hit team rolls into town, Kash doesn’t hesitate. He doesn’t care who Jordan used to be or why men in tactical gear are hunting her. What matters is that she’s his now — and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe. Because somewhere between their casual coffee dates and waking up with her in his arms, she’s become everything he never thought he’d have. And Kash Sinclaire doesn’t lose what’s his. less

Some wrecks are meant to stay buried. Some secrets refuse to drown. A year ago, the Vigilant vanished off the Oregon coast during a classified mission. All hands were presumed lost—until Coast Guard officer Saylor O’Conner was found days later, half-frozen and barely alive in a battered Zodiac. She survived, but her memories of what happened aboard the doomed vessel remain fractured, obscured by trauma and fear... moreSome wrecks are meant to stay buried. Some secrets refuse to drown. A year ago, the Vigilant vanished off the Oregon coast during a classified mission. All hands were presumed lost—until Coast Guard officer Saylor O’Conner was found days later, half-frozen and barely alive in a battered Zodiac. She survived, but her memories of what happened aboard the doomed vessel remain fractured, obscured by trauma and fear. Now, she’s trying to rebuild a quiet life in Raven’s Cliff, where the fog conceals more than just the coastline. But someone hasn’t forgotten what happened at sea — and they’ve just found her. Zain Everett, former Army Ranger turned SAR specialist, knows what it’s like to carry guilt that won’t let go. His last mission cost lives — lives he couldn’t save. And now, with danger closing in on Saylor, he can’t afford to miss a single sign. She stirs something in him he thought long dead. And as threats close in, and old ghosts surface, Zain and Saylor are pulled into a storm far more treacherous than the one that nearly claimed her life. Because someone is willing to kill to keep the truth buried — and this time, they’ll make sure she doesn’t survive it. less

Some ghosts don’t haunt—they hunt. The first body appears in Raven’s Cliff on a night thick with fog and fear. Marked with a single number and staged with ritualistic care, it’s only the beginning. Sheriff Greer Hudson has seen violence before, but nothing like this. Each new victim carries another number. Each number another piece of a pattern she can’t yet decipher... moreSome ghosts don’t haunt—they hunt. The first body appears in Raven’s Cliff on a night thick with fog and fear.

Each number another piece of a pattern she can’t yet decipher. Chase Remington—former Air Force pararescueman and Raven’s Watch medic—recognizes the echo of a mission that went catastrophically wrong. Old scars rip open as he realizes the killer’s message isn’t random. It’s personal. One of their own has already fallen, and if they can’t catch a break, more will follow. Bound by duty and hunted by a past they’d rather forget, Greer and Chase must rely on each other to survive. But trust is dangerous—and exactly what the killer intends to exploit. Because the killer isn’t just after blood. He wants them to feel every wound, every loss, every failure—before he destroys them. less
