For as long as Danni Hagar can remember, her heart has belonged to Thor Armstrong—the boy next door turned Navy SEAL. It took years for Thor to admit what she’s always they’re meant to be. Through deployments and college, hard goodbyes and harder reunions, their love has only grown stronger. But just weeks before their wedding, everything shatters. Danni is abducted by the very cult she’s spent a decade investigating—the Origins of God. Held captive for twenty-five harrowing days, she’s rescued by the one man who would cross any line to save her. But the leader of the cult escapes, and the nightmare is far from over. As Danni recovers at The Refuge, a sanctuary for the broken and battle-worn, Thor stays by her side, determined to help her heal. But healing won’t be enough. The enemy is still out there. And for Danni and Thor to have a future, they’ll have to confront the past, the pain—and the darkness that’s hunting them both. Spanning ten unforgettable years of passion, purpose, and sacrifice, this is a story of enduring love, unbreakable bonds, and the kind of war that’s fought with both heart and fire. less

Moose Rhoades barely survives his last mission, but the pain that haunts him isn’t just physical. While recovering at The Refuge—a quiet retreat for battered warriors—he reaches out to the woman who once pulled him back from the edge: Margaret Whitaker, his high school counselor. But it’s her daughter, Shay, who writes back—with heartbreaking news. Margaret is dying. Returning to Lake George means facing old ghosts, but Moose goes anyway. He expects to say goodbye. What he doesn’t expect is Shay—brilliant, fierce, and unraveling beneath the weight of grief, debt, and secrets too long buried. When Margaret dies, Shay is forced to confront more than loss. She’s called to jury duty in a high-profile trial—one tied to a lie that shatters everything she believed about her past. And when a threatening letter lands in her hands, it becomes clear the truth isn’t just painful—it’s explosive. As danger circles closer and secrets come to light, Moose will do whatever it takes to protect Shay—even if it means becoming a target himself. Because the strongest shelters aren’t made of walls. They’re forged in love. And this time, Moose refuses to let go. less
