Hermit of Paradise - A Novel

Kim Sanders

Beschreibung

A Fight for Lost Innocence Detective Auby Midnight is retired. Or so he imagines. Jaded and transformed by a long career of witnessing degeneracy, tragedy, and true evil, he reflects on the place that first nurtured him: Paradise Cove, Lake Texoma, and the rich, endearing memories of mischief, adventure, and friendship that shaped his childhood. That is, until the day a violent feud brought irrevocable trauma for his best friend, Sunny. Now Sunny implores the wearied Auby to right the wrongs of the past and return to the case that has haunted him and his childhood friends for years. Older, wiser, and far more experienced, they set out to defeat the evil that stole their innocence and restore the magic of Paradise Cove. Inspired by the author's own life events as a sixth-generation Texan and a former member of the Dallas Police Department with decades of experience under his belt, Hermit of Paradise explores meaning, morality, and the fight to stay human in the face of a grim and complicated world.

When fear is the gatekeeper, can love still slip through?

Autumn Donnelly vowed never to date until her children were grown. But when a well-meaning friend pushes her into online dating, she reluctantly agrees. But only if her neighbor Chase Worthington signs up too. It’s only a little harmless socializing. Right?

Chase has been quietly in love with Autumn for months, and this dating challenge offers a chance to shield her from players and predators. He’ll endure awkward meetups and flirty strangers if it means keeping an eye on the woman who’s come to mean so much more than a friend.

But as they navigate the hilarious disasters of modern dating together, Chase faces a choice: can he keep protecting her heart even if it can never be his?
