Haven Island PD: Protecting Paradise

Deputy Sean

Book 1: The story of Sean and Cassie

Get ready to meet the Haven Island PD: a team of stunningly attractive, sexy, and tough officers, dedicated to protecting our beautiful island paradise off the eastern coast of North Florida, where the sun-drenched beaches meet the crashing waves…Welcome to Haven Island!

For these men in blue, their commitment to live and die to protect and serve their family and community is everything. Each book is a standalone that provides a happily ever after conclusion that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat with its suspenseful storyline and intricately woven characters.

Trading the bustling South Florida streets for the tranquil island life, Deputy Sean sought a calmer pace as an officer. Haunted by images of his ex-girlfriend's deceit, he dreams of a future filled with the laughter of children and the embrace of a devoted wife.

Cassie has lived on the island, surrounded by the sounds of the ocean and the smell of salt air, her whole life except for her college years. Each man who left the island took a piece of her hope, leaving behind a bitter taste and the chilling emptiness of the endless ocean.

It’s love at first sight for Sean, but the sudden disappearance of Cassie leaves him heartbroken and desperate to find her. Will he find her in time?
