Seaside Sanctuary by Sheridan Cole

FBI agent Sean Malone has returned to Whisper, North Carolina, hoping to build a life closer to the family he’s missed for far too long. The last thing he expects is to come face-to-face with Grace Whitman—the spirited young girl who once followed him everywhere during her summer visits and the woman he can’t stop thinking about now.

Grace has always loved spending her summers in the small coastal town of Whisper. Opening her own business there feels like the fresh start she’s been waiting for, and reconnecting with Sean only makes the future look brighter. What begins as a renewed friendship soon grows into something neither of them can ignore.

But as their relationship grows, danger finds its way into their quiet coastal town. When Sean is asked to assist with an active investigation, Whisper no longer feels as safe a sanctuary as it once did. As the case intensifies and fear spreads through the community, Sean becomes increasingly determined to uncover the truth before anyone else is harmed.

Because evil can lurk where it’s least expected.

And this time, the woman he loves may be closer to danger than either of them realizes.
