Home is where the heart is... but what if you have nothing to go home to?

When Jaxson Adams is forced out of the service on a medical discharge, he returns to his hometown to find that very little has changed. The problem is, he has.

He’s no longer the carefree, wild child he’d once been. He’s seen and done things most people couldn’t imagine. Not in their dreams… and not in their worst nightmares.

Even worse, he’s lost his sense of purpose. He doesn’t belong anymore. And no one understands.

Then he finds the letters. Letters that change everything he thought he knew about his family and provide a new mission—to discover the truth and right decades-old wrongs in the process.

Penny Hoffmeier is a romantic at heart, even if the only romance she sees is the stuff she makes herself. She takes great pleasure in creating the perfect bouquets for every occasion from her family’s florist shop in Sumneyville, PA.

She’s a lover, not a fighter, but she likes scuttlebutt as much as the next girl, and the hot, former SEALs who set up a place for returning service men and women nearby are providing plenty of fodder these days.

So far, she’s managed to stay neutral in the escalating tensions between some locals and the Sanctuary guys. However, when the brooding, sexy stranger comes to town with a shocking secret about one of their own, remaining quietly on the sidelines proves impossible.

Will Jaxson be able to achieve his objective and move on with a clear conscience? Or will he make Penny his next mission?

He lost everything once. He’s not going to let it happen again.

Matt Winston led a charmed life. Great family, great friends, and a girl he’d do anything for.

Then tragedy struck. He lost everything, including his way. He dealt with it the only way he knew how - by becoming the best damn SEAL team leader he could be.

Now he’s out of the service, stronger, wiser, and with a new purpose: turning his burnt-out family legacy into a place where he can help fellow vets find their way back into civilian society.

Nothing will bring back what he lost—except possibly the small town corruption that brings her back to into his life.

When Hayley Freed left town suddenly all those years ago amidst rumors and scandal, the hardest part had been walking away from the only boy she’d ever loved.

He’d been her knight in shining armor then. In her heart, he still was.

Now she’s back, and she’s not alone. She’s bringing justice, vengeance, and karma with her. This US Deputy Marshal is on a mission, and it’s as personal as it gets.

And maybe, just maybe, she’ll get a second chance to do right by her knight in the process.

As Matt and Hayley work together to rid their sleepy little mountain town of the rampant greed and corruption threatening to destroy it, will they re-discover the magic that will give them the happily ever after they deserve?

Prodigal Son is the exciting conclusion to Abbie Zanders's Sanctuary series, a contemporary romantic suspense series featuring former military heroes and the women who always have their six.

Scapegoat. Fall guy. Puppet. Stooge.

When a covert mission went full-on FUBAR, someone had to take the blame.

Zeke Ericsson knows this.

But he’d expected his CO—and the men he called brothers—to have his six.

He was wrong.

These days, his only allegiance is to himself. And if he’s using his special skills to line his own pocket? All the better. He’s vowed never put his life on the line for anyone ever again.

Then she winds up in his crosshairs.

And FUBAR doesn’t even begin to describe what happens next.

It only takes a second to change everything…

I’ve wanted to be a doctor for as long as I can remember. Now I’m so close I can taste it. The long hours, the lack of social life, the sacrifice—I know it’ll all be worth it. And not even the sexy new orthopedist on staff with the amazing smile is going to take my eyes off the prize, no matter how tempted I am.

But the accident that lands me on his operating table? That’s a game changer.

Grant

I didn’t know what to expect when I accepted the partnership offer, only that I needed a fresh start and Cecilton seemed as good a place as any.

New job, new place, and, after crossing paths with the feisty ER resident, the potential for something so much more. I think she feels it too, but she’s determined to keep me arms’ length—until my surgical skills might be the only thing that saves her.

Just for Us is a short, sweet, mildly suspenseful novella featuring a career-focused heroine and a cocky but extremely skilled surgeon who proves to be as good in caring for her heart as he is her injuries.

Have they found the secret recipe for happiness…or are they playing with fire?

No one knows more about peaches than master orchardist Tina Obermacher. The only thing she lacks is time to cultivate a personal life.

When the ladies of Sanctuary invite her for regular coffee and conversation, Tina jumps at the chance for some much-needed girl time—and the opportunity to cross paths with the hunk of laid-back hotness they call "Doc."

Cole Watson has found a comfortable niche in the northern PA mountains, helping fellow former servicemen and women transition back to civilian life. He’s not looking for a relationship, at least not until he meets Tina. Her womanly curves and intelligent eyes give the former SEAL a new mission: make her his.

It’s complicated, though. Not only do Tina’s brothers vehemently oppose Sanctuary, they’re into something far shadier than the family orchards, and Doc can’t warn Tina without jeopardizing years of undercover work.

The best he can do is be there to catch her when everything crumbles. The question is, once she learns the truth, will she let him?

Former SEAL Nick “Cage” Fumanti likes where his life is at. A city boy at heart, he’s made peace with the fresh air, open skies, and satisfaction he gets from helping make Sanctuary a success. The best part is, he’s all but forgotten the shady past that prompted him to join the Navy right out of high school. The only thing missing is someone to share it with, but since he’s much better with tech than he is with women, he doesn’t hold out much hope that’s going to happen.

Online journalist Gabriella De Rossi is tired of being passed over for the juicy assignments. She wants more than the puff pieces and human interest stories being tossed her way. She understands the seedy underworld better than most because she’s actually lived it. Sure, her personal experiences may have developed her empathetic tendencies, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have what it takes.

When Bree is sent to Pennsylvania to do a story on a new program to assist returning veterans re-acclimate into civilian society, she’s understandably less than enthusiastic. However, fate might actually be on her side for once. Not only does the former SEAL tasked with showing her around rouse her non-professional interest, but she soon discovers that the sleepy little mountain town of Sumneyville has its share of secrets… and so does her SEAL.

Revealing the truth could be the big break Bree’s been waiting for, but if doing so means losing Nick forever, is it worth it?

This latest installment in the Sanctuary series is a contemporary love story with plenty of steam, small town suspense, and humor to give you all the feels and leave you smiling.

When best laid plans go awry, it might be time to make a new plan.

Former SEAL Hugh “Heff” Bradley has put aside his womanizing ways to focus on making the Sanctuary a place for veterans in need. He knows how difficult the transition back to civilian life can be; he’s walked the razor’s edge himself a few times. 

His plan: Use his special skills to make the project a reality and stop those trying to sabotage it. That means keeping his head down and his hands to himself. Then he meets her. 

Sandy Summers knows exactly what she wants: to get out of Sumneyville for good. Fate seems to be conspiring against her, however, throwing up one obstacle after another. Her plan: Work two jobs, attend night school to earn a degree, accept a job offer in the city, and never look back. 

Impulsively hooking-up with the sexy, skilled SEAL before she leaves wasn’t part of the plan. Neither was her absentee father showing up on her doorstep after fifteen years with another game changer. But she’s worked too hard and too long not to stick to her plan, even if it means walking away from the only good thing that’s happened to her in years. 

Heff and Sandy know firsthand what can happen to the best laid plans. But when getting back on track means sacrificing a chance at true happiness, do they take it? Or do they make a new plan? 

Best Laid Plans is a contemporary love story with enough steam, suspense, and humor to give you all the feels and leave you smiling.

They thought it was safe to lose their hearts. But the past is a dangerous stalker.

A smart SEAL knows when it’s time to pack it in. After 12 years on the teams, and a horrific mission that stretched him to the breaking point, Steve “Smoke” Tannen is transitioning to civilian life and a new job helping other vets who’ve forgotten how to see the world in shades of grey.

One spot of color is his pretty next-door neighbor. Delicate features, chestnut hair—and a fight-or-flight wariness in her grey-green eyes that triggers his protective instincts.

Samantha Applehoff would be laser focused on her goal of owning a coffee and bake shop—if she wasn’t always looking over her shoulder. She can’t shake the feeling she’s being watched, and now a secret admirer’s leaving gifts in her locked apartment.

To make matters worse, she’s not sure if her eerily quiet, unfailingly courteous, undeniably hot new neighbor is making her less anxious… or more.

The attraction is instant and their connection is real. But when Sam’s fears strike in real life, Smoke has only one shot to save her. And it could cost them their own happy ending.

Every steamy story is written just for her…and they’ve never even said hello.

Coffee and a bookstore, every Friday. That’s the official start of my weekend escape with my guilty pleasure—a Nick Penn romance novel. And a sneaky peek at the sexy laptop guy who’s always typing away in the corner.

There’s something insanely attractive about a man who loves books. It’s also insanely easy to imagine he’s my fictional hero, and I’m the heroine in his arms. Because every story feels like it’s been written just for me.

I’d planned to use my military experience to write suspense novels—until I looked up from my laptop and saw her. Somehow I found myself writing steamy romance, all for the sweet, shy woman who stops in my grandparents’ book shop every Friday like clockwork.

When we literally bump heads one day, I’m inspired to take this storybook romance off the page and make it real. But it turns out writing romance is a lot easier than living it…even with the help of my matchmaking grandfather.

Just for Me is a short, sweet, feel-good romance, starring an endearingly clumsy heroine and a disabled military veteran, that’ll leave you smiling.

Retired US Navy SEAL Commander Gabriel Michaels has finally found peace after decades of active duty and two failed marriages. No tangoes, no red tape, no women — just his rifle, his fishing pole, and his loyal coon hound on a pristine piece of lakefront heaven. But when the Assistant Director of Homeland Security asks for his help, he can’t say no. Not only is it a case of national security, it’s finally a chance for Gabe to avenge his fallen teammates.

As for the irritating woman who slips his dog cookies and is so willing to help? She’s a great source of inside information… and unexpected temptation. But can she be trusted?

Virginia Miller is used to working quietly from the shadows as a personal assistant to a powerful, wealthy businessman. That all changes when her boss suddenly goes missing and she’s thrust into a world of deception and international terrorism. To further complicate things, the compelling former SEAL with incredible green eyes thinks she’s the key to unravelling the mystery.

The most ironic thing of all is… he’s right. And he could ruin everything.
