Finn “Tonka” Matlick’s last mission with the Coast Guard had gone so horribly wrong, it left him unable to live a normal life. He now prefers animals to people, which makes his job at The Refuge, looking after the four-legged creatures, ideal.

Henley McClure has more in common with the owners of The Refuge than they would ever believe, but to them she’s nothing more than the part-time psychologist who comes up from the nearby town to talk to the paying guests.

But when a stressful situation forces her and Tonka to act on their mutual attraction, Henley thinks her luck is about to change...for the better. But she can’t be more wrong. Now she has to decide if she should stay and fight for what she’s always wanted, or to leave and raise her baby alone.

**Deserving Henley is the 2nd book in the The Refuge Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.
