Sterling (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781834088495)

For Sterling, encountering Toby and the others at the Haven feels like a glimpse of redemption. He is adrift, trapped between the shadows of his past and the foggy uncertainty of his present. The proximity to his mother's farm, now under his aunt's control, only heightens his unease. Many years ago she had cast him into the foster system, and now he faces a choice: continue on in silence or confront the storm brewing dangerously close. Does he really want to fully engage in this looming conflict and to stand firm to the end? Doesn't he have enough on this plate already?

Lindsay arrives at the Haven with cautious hope, seeking to verify its promise. She is no stranger to the struggles of small rescues, and the possibility of a new ally offers a glimmer of relief. Meeting Sterling-and realizing he might be the cousin her friend had never known-adds layers of complexity to the situation. The revelation of his tangled past and the simmering current tensions only deepens the intrigue.

The impending clash promises to be brutal, and, as the stakes rise, two questions linger. Who would emerge unscathed? And could love find a way amid the chaos?
