Sadie’s Guarded Harbor by Danielle M Haas

When secrets of the past return, more than her heart’s at stake
Sadie Pennel finds a new community by volunteering with her young daughter at Safe Haven Women’s Shelter, a much-needed reprieve from her high-stress job as a sheriff’s deputy.
When she stumbles upon the body of a dead hunter and is partnered with the charming Tommy Wells, her guard goes up. His quick-wit and easy smile could land her in a world of trouble she can’t afford.
Tommy’s determined to prove he’s more than a care free flirt, an impossible feat with Sadie questioning his every move. But as they hunt for a killer, he sees a different side of the uptight single mom. A side his heart isn’t prepared for.
As Sadie and Tommy grow closer and follow the clues, they uncover a tangle of lies. The root of which might just be at the center of a decades-long unsolved murder that tore Tommy’s family apart.
