He’s a broken hero trying to hold it all together.

Rylan Cross has spent his life saving others, but lately, he’s the one falling apart. Haunted by his past and the betrayal of the one woman he thought he could trust, he’s drowning in alcohol and self-doubt. The pressure of counseling his teammates through their traumas is crushing him, and he knows it’s only a matter of time before he shatters.

She’s the woman who betrayed him—and she needs his help.

Isabella “Izzy” Delgado never imagined she’d be back in Rylan’s life, not after a devastating mistake that nearly cost his sister her life. But now two children are missing, and Izzy knows that Rylan and his team are the only ones capable of finding them. If only she can convince him to set aside his anger long enough to help—and maybe, just maybe, trust her again.

Their last hope lies with each other—and a courageous K9.

As Rylan and Izzy race against time to find the missing kids, every step of the search drags them closer to the past they’re both trying to forget. But with Rylan on the verge of self-destruction, it’s Izzy—and a spirited K9 named Valor—who rally the team to bring him back from the edge. This dog knows only courage—and he won’t back down until he’s saved them all.

Searching for Valor is the explosive conclusion to the Redwood Coast Rescue series—a gripping, emotional rollercoaster of redemption, danger, and a second chance at love. If you crave edge-of-your-seat action, intense emotional stakes, and an unforgettable enemies-to-lovers romance, don’t miss this powerful final chapter by Tonya Burrows!

AUTHORS NOTE

This book was originally released in 2014. It has since been updated, and Ive added to it, but the main plot remains the same.

He'll risk everything for a second chance.

In the courtroom, defense attorney Callum Holden fights for justice, but when it comes to matters of the heart, he's about to face his toughest case. The brilliant and beautiful true crime researcher Ellie Summers, once the keeper of his heart, now barely acknowledges his existence. In a last-ditch effort to win her back, Cal vows to solve the one mystery that has haunted her for decades: the disappearance of her older sister, Hope.

She's not willing to compromise her principles… or her heart.

Ellie has a steadfast moral code and refuses to be swayed by a man who makes his living defending the worst of humanity. Between her podcast production company and training Puzzle, her search and rescue puppy, she tells herself she's too busy to miss the charming lawyer with the distractingly good looks. Yet, when Cal presents a photo of a teenage girl resembling her missing sister, she drops everything and joins forces with him to find the truth.

But everything is not what it seems…

Their mission: infiltrate the Hope's Embrace Commune during its annual couple's retreat. It's idyllic at first, and the longer they stay, the hotter the spark between them blazes. But then the lies, manipulation, and mysterious disappearances begin to surface. Someone within the walls knows exactly what happened to Hope… and is willing to kill to keep the commune's secrets.

…and finding Hope might mean losing each other.

It's a good thing Gabe Bristow lives and breathes the Navy SEAL credo, “the only easy day was yesterday,” because today, his life is unrecognizable. When his prestigious career comes to a crashing halt, he's left with a bum leg and few prospects for employment that don't include a desk.

That is, until he's offered the chance to command a private hostage rescue team and free a wealthy American businessman from Colombian paramilitary rebels. It seems like a good deal—until he meets his new team: a drunk Cajun linguist, a boy-genius CIA threat analyst, an FBI negotiator with mob ties, a cowboy medic, and an EOD expert as volatile as the bombs he defuses. Oh, and who could forget the sexy, frustratingly impulsive Audrey Van Amee? She's determined to help rescue her brother—or drive Gabe crazy. Whichever comes first.

As the death toll rises, Gabe's team of misfits must figure out how to work together long enough to save the day. Or, at least, not get themselves killed. Because Gabe's finally found something worth living for, and God help him if he can't bring her brother back alive.

This book was my first published work, originally released in 2013. It has since been updated, and I've added to it (including a new bonus epilogue!), but the main plot remains the same.

The man who saved her life and then vanished.

Trust is a luxury they can't afford…

With secrets lurking among the stranded hikers, trust becomes dangerous. Someone isn't who they claim to be, and their hidden agenda could cost everyone their lives…

Pierce St. James once served his country with honor, but a devastating betrayal left him scarred and voiceless.

She's searching for a new direction.

When the earth shakes, the truth will surface.

Hunted by mercenaries, trapped with no way out, and confronted by a fanatical faction intent on chaos, Pierce and Rhiannon must decide who to trust as they navigate a web of lies, betrayal, and deadly technology.
