Searching for Secrets

Redwood Coast Rescue, Book 8

By: Tonya Burrows

Narrated by: Stephen Borne

He has nowhere left to run.

Pierce St. James once served his country with honor, but a devastating betrayal left him scarred and voiceless. Seeking refuge in the remote mountains of Northern California, he lives a quiet life with his loyal search-and-rescue dog, Raszta. But when a powerful earthquake traps him in a crumbling roadside gift shop, Pierce's past catches up with him in the form of dangerous enemies who will stop at nothing to silence him forever.

She’s searching for a new direction.

Rhiannon Cross has spent the last two years teaching English and ASL in Japan, but now she’s at a crossroads, unsure of where life will take her next. Hoping a visit to her brother will bring clarity, she instead finds herself trapped in a life-or-death situation with Pierce, her brother’s mysterious friend. And while her growing connection with him becomes impossible to ignore, letting him into her heart could derail the fresh start she desperately needs—especially when the shadows of Pierce’s past threaten to shatter the fragile bond they’ve begun to build.

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. As their feelings for each other deepen, so does the danger around them, forcing them to confront not only the threats outside but the fears within. But when rescue arrives, Pierce realizes it’s not just help that’s come—it’s also the very people who want him dead.

Some secrets are deadlier than others... and some loves are worth risking everything.

Searching for Secrets is the heart-stopping eighth book in the Redwood Coast Rescue series. If you love intense chemistry, high-stakes action, and a hero haunted by his past, then you’ll be hooked by this thrilling romantic suspense novel.
