Short Synopsis
Ruby James presents Book 1 in the Hawkins Ridge Animal Sanctuary series.

Full Synopsis
Can love flourish amid expectations, dishonesty, and duty?

Naomi Hendrix is seeking a fresh start in the small rural town of Oak Mountain, Maryland. As the town's new veterinarian, she is rebuilding her life after a painful divorce and betrayal by her former neighbors. However, her mentor, Walter, warns her about the Beckett family, sowing fear they could destroy her growing business.

Logan Beckett, a single dad, is eager to break free from his father's shadow, and is determined to pave his own way. Juggling to balance managing his family's rescue operation and raising his eleven-year-old daughter, romance is the last thing on his mind. When Logan crosses paths with Naomi, sparks ignite, but Walter's poisoned words marred their connection.

While assisting with a rescue during a violent storm, Naomi finds herself stranded at Hawkins Ridge. Her time with the Becketts, she experiences the family's genuine compassion and uncovers the truth behind Walter's dislike.

Can Naomi and Logan discover true love and conquer even the most sinister betrayal? In a setting where family ties, loyalty and animal rescue intersect, you're invited to visit Hawkins Ridge Sanctuary.
