About this ebook

In coastal Oregon, two people at a refuge for strays both human and animal learn that love and healing go hand-in-hand, from the USA Today–bestselling author.
 
When journalist Jonathan Byers leaves LA with his career in tatters, he heads to Sanctuary Ranch, determined to settle some of his personal affairs by putting his aging father in a seniors’ home. But his father stubbornly refuses to leave his secluded retreat—and has even rallied Sanctuary Ranch’s beautiful gardener to his cause. Something about sexy, mysterious Abby Warren piques the rugged reporter’s investigative instincts—and his interest—luring Jonathan to stay a little longer . . .
 
Having found her own healing at Sanctuary Ranch, Abby knows Jonathan’s hard-headedness hides a wound that needs mending. Believing a time-out in nature will help father and son see eye-to-eye, she welcomes Jonathan into the only haven she has ever known. But Abby never expects to find herself so drawn to him—or that he will uncover devastating secrets she’d hoped to keep long buried. Will their deepening connection be enough to steer them through the darkness ahead, and toward a bright future for everyone?
 
Praise for Sunset Bay Sanctuary
 
“Grief and loss define this slow burning contemporary romance featuring a large cast of folksy characters who infuse the first installment in Snopek’s Sunset Bay series with lots of down home charm and many examples of tough love. Fans of small town series with character driven plots, such as those by Susan Wiggs and Debbie Macomber, will find that Sunset Bay hits the spot.” —Booklist

Ratings and reviews

This is a fabulous addition to the Sanctuary Bay series. Author Roxanne Snopek has created the wonderful fictional town of Sunset Bay which is where Sanctuary Ranch is located. A beautiful place where people and animals alike come to heal and find peace and love. This story brings Jonathon Byers and Abby Warren to the area. Jonathon is an investigative reporter whose career has imploded and the stress of dealing with an aging parent has landed on his shoulders. Abby and her sister have come to the area for yet another fresh start. Together these two will find a way to deal with the past and build a bright new future. A heartwarming story that you don't want to miss. I highly recommend it.

A heart warming story of bringing two people to Sanctuary Ranch not expecting to find love. Abby has brought her sister, Quinn to the ranch for a new start in life where they befriend Roman. Jon has arrived at the ranch to help take care of his elderly father, Roman. Jon is an investigative reporter, who has taken a hiatus from his career. Soon a friendship develops between Abby and Jon that might lead to more if Abby can open heart to Jon. I highly recommend this story. Once again Roxanne shows her love of animals through this story. a job well done on dealing with an elderly parent. I thoroughly enjoyed the relationship that Abby had with Rowan. This book is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone.

About the author

USA TODAY bestselling author Roxanne Snopek writes contemporary romance both sexy and sweet, in small towns, big cities and secluded islands, with families and communities that will warm your heart. Her fictional heroes (like her own real-life hero) are swoon-worthy, uber-responsible, secretly vulnerable and occasionally dough-headed, but animals love them, which makes everything okay. Roxanne writes from British Columbia, Canada, where she is surrounded by flowers, wildlife and two adoring dogs. She does yoga to stay sane. It works, mostly.
