A Small-Town Romantic Suspense
PAULA'S REVIEW:
A unique and interesting plot that takes place at a wild animal refuge in Alabama. Paradise Alden returns to The Sanctuary run by mother and son duo Blake Lawson and Jenna Anderson. She will be a Vet to the exotic animals that have been rescued and face her fears after being mauled by a big cat. She also wants to find out what really happened when her parents were murdered when she was a child.
When strange things begin to happen at The Sanctuary, Paradise and Blake try to make sense of it all. They ponder who is really being targeted, where it stems from, and if it could have started with his step-father’s death.
Packed with danger, sneaky villains and lots of supposition, this suspenseful story will keep you guessing. There is a second-chance romance, characters maturing in their faith, and interaction with hyenas and tigers that will have you holding your breath.
Ms Coble always presents a thrilling story that makes you think.

BackCover Blurb:
Paradise Alden's childhood in Nova Cambridge, Alabama, was idyllic until the night her parents were murdered. Since then, life has left her scarred. The abuse she suffered in the foster care system, her first love's betrayal, and the jaguar attack that nearly destroyed her career have led to an unshakable distrust--in men, in God, and maybe in even in herself.
After fifteen years, returning to her hometown is a last resort to finding her life again. She's hoping the wildlife refuge where she's accepted a veterinarian job will be the perfect place to heal from her recent traumas and unlock her memories about the night her parents died. But the day she arrives at The Sanctuary, a body is discovered on the grounds. And soon, a series of deadly events threatens not only her future, but the man who, despite all odds, still makes her pulse stutter. Arson, a shooting, a break-in, and multiple instances of animals being freed from their enclosures all point back to him, but Paradise knows Blake Lawson isn't responsible. Not the man who has been helping his mother manage The Sanctuary these past six months and care for his stepbrothers in the wake of their father's death . . . even if his betrayal years ago cost her everything.
Someone dangerous is lurking beneath the town's moss-draped trees, and Paradise refuses to let another murderer disappear into the shadows.
