The Silence He Buried

When retired Air Force colonel Daniel Mercer returns to Cedar Ridge, he finds Haven House now run by Grace Bennett fighting storm damage, rising costs, and a threat no one can name. Grace has spent years helping the broken heal, but Daniel's return stirs old wounds she thought long buried. When a break-in exposes a long-hidden military secret tied to Daniel's past, the two must confront truth, grief, and the danger closing in. In a mountain town where faith is tested and second chances cost courage, Haven House may be the only place strong enough to save them both.
