“Beautiful, emotional, and riveting. Catherine Cowles pens a romantic masterpiece that remained in my heart long after the final page was turned.” --K.C. Lynn, bestselling author of the Men of Honor series
Reckless Refuge, an all-new moving and “gorgeously written” standalone from Catherine Cowles, is available now!
There were shadows I was running from.
Ones that haunted and taunted.
Ones that made it so I had no choice but to disappear.
I’d spent years hiding from the world.
My little island haven, the only assurance of safety.
It all changed the moment he showed up at my door.
The hint of pain in his eyes told me that something haunted him, too.
And I couldn’t help but be drawn closer.
But finding the person I needed most came with risks I never expected.
And when our ghosts find us again, neither of us may make it out this time.

Excerpt
Prologue
Shay
PAST
It burned. Everywhere and nowhere. Slices in my skin that made it feel as if hot lava had been poured into my flesh. I couldn’t count them, had lost track after the tenth. I tried to move, to somehow escape. Only my fingers twitched.
Sounds. Voices. Hovering above me. They were everywhere and yet nowhere. Pinpricks of light, like glimmering stars on the darkest night.
“Miss? Can you hear me?”
I managed a low moan. I only wanted the pain to stop. The agony tearing through my body. I craved a blanket of nothingness. An endless sea where I would cease to exist altogether.
“I’m an EMT. You’re safe. We’ve got you.”
“Hurts.” It was the only message I cared about getting across. This woman might have the power to lessen the burn.
A hand slipped into mine, blood sliding down my arm to bind us together, the liquid already growing tacky with the passage of time.
“I know. Just hold on.”
I didn’t want to hold on. I wanted to float away to a world where none of this was real. Where pain didn’t exist—only light and peace and relief.
“Can you tell us who did this to you?”
My eyes fluttered. My cracked lips parted. I could only manage two words.
“My brother.”
Catherine Cowles is a relatively new author for me and just like the previous books of hers that I have read, Reckless Refuge, book four in the Wrecked series is a perfect combination of memorable characters and a suspenseful storyline that will keep you engaged from the first page to the last.
Brody is an extremely talented artist who has been struggling to find his mojo again after it was tarnished by a madman. He decides to escape and purchases a small island where he never thought he would find his muse and so much more.
Shay has been working as a caretaker while hiding on the small island for a few years. It is the only place where she feels safe and can maintain her anonymity after her attack. Now, circumstances made implode all of the hard work she has put into motion to keep herself safe, but at the same time she has found a man she can trust and care for.
These two broken souls have found a way to find healing and solace with each other.
