PROTECTING HONOR by Christy Barritt, Reviewed by Rebecca Maney


 Book 4 of 6: Refuge Cove

REBECCA'S REVIEW:
"You were choosing what mattered . . . That's what honor looks like."

When a resident of Refuge Cove disappears into the night after a close encounter with her violent husband, Max Kincaid offers his assistance to the local sheriff in the search to find her. His attention is already divided though, there's a lovely new vet in town, whose steady presence at the Cove's dog shelter during the birth of six new puppies has precipitated a spark of attraction, but after his recent break-up with another employee, the timing may not be right.

Veterinarian Hadley Chase loves her new home in Blue Ridge Hollow, but instead of thriving, her practice is experiencing what seems like a rash of targeted attacks. Her only consolation is how helpful Max Kincaid has been, she feels safe whenever Max is around and his commitment to finding out the truth is reassuring. When a seed of doubt about him is planted from an unknown source, Hadley is ready to give Max the benefit of the doubt, but tragically it may be too little, too late.

A thrilling new addition to the Refuge Cove series.

BackCover Blurb:

 She’s found the perfect place to start over. But someone doesn't want her here.

Veterinarian Hadley Chase moved to Blue Ridge Hollow looking for a fresh start. After the chaos of Atlanta, the quiet rhythm of a small mountain town—and her new clinic—feel like exactly what she needs. But she never expected danger to shadow her there.

Max Kincaid keeps his head down and his past where it belongs—behind him. He came to Refuge Cove to rebuild the honor he nearly lost, and working there suits him fine . . . until Hadley becomes the focus of escalating danger. When unsettling incidents turn into targeted threats, it becomes clear someone wants her gone.

Staying out of it would be smarter. Safer. But he's not willing to walk away.

Max will do whatever it takes to protect Hadley. Even if it means confronting the past he's spent years trying to outrun. Even if it means exposing a truth that could cost him everything—and her.
