Finding His Redemption: Valor Ridge, Book 1

An emotionally scarred Navy SEAL. Jaxon Thorne doesn't believe in second chances. Not for someone like him. He screwed up too many times, burned too many bridges, and paid the price in prison. Now he's at Valor Ridge, a remote Montana ranch for broken veterans, trying to keep his head down and his past buried. His only plan is to train dogs, stay sober, and survive the silence. Then he meets her–the café owner with wary eyes and a kid who looks at Jax like he's a hero. A single mom on the run. Vanessa "Nessie" Harmon is doing everything she can to stay invisible. New name. New town. New life. She clawed her way out of hell for the sake of her son, and Solace, Montana, is supposed to be safe. Quiet. A place where no one asks too many questions. But when her past catches up to her, there's only one man dangerous enough to protect them. A second chance at redemption... if they survive long enough to take it. Jax is not sure he's built for this kind of fight anymore, but for Nessie, he'll try. Because while Valor Ridge may have started as penance, he's starting to believe it could become something more—a place to belong, a family he never knew he wanted, and a brotherhood he thought he'd never have again. Finding His Redemption is the first book in the gritty, emotional Valor Ridge series. With protective heroes, loyal K9s, and a fierce sense of found family, this small-town romantic suspense will grab your heart and never let go.
