About this ebook

Welcome to Hathaway House. Rehab Center. Safe Haven. Second chance at life and love.

When Navy SEAL Cole Muster entered Hathaway House weeks ago, he was doing well. His meds were under control; his recovery was progressing at a safe rate, and he was getting better every day. But, left to his own devices, Cole pushed himself too hard and took himself off his medication—and ended up causing himself harm and earned himself time in a hospital. Now he’s returned, hoping that Hathaway House can get him back on track one more time.

RN Sandra Denver feels responsible for what happened to Cole. She was his nurse and should have realized that he wasn’t ready to leave Hathaway House. His setback was her fault, or at least she could have prevented it, if she’d made sure he was taking those meds she gave him daily. Now that he’s back, she’s finding it hard to trust not just him but herself. And she understands, when Cole has a hard time trusting himself too, it won’t make his recovery any easier.

For Cole’s sake, Sandra must help him overcome his stumbling blocks as well as her own. With any luck, they’ll find a second chance at recovery, for both of them, at Hathaway House.

Ratings and reviews

Hello Cole. Came in an angry,wounded, gungho lets ignore the rules, Seal and turned into a charming, giving man. Nurse Sydney was dealing with a few issues of her own after Cole took it upon himself to medicate or not medicate. We know going in that the Seals are wounded, will have PTSD along with their own unique physical issues. Dale handles these, gently but honestly, giving us a glimpse into their world. Yes, we know there will be a HEA but the emotional journey, the struggles reach out and take you along for the ride. Thank God for the HEA! The romance is emotional, G rated. I love, love that there are animals, with the veterinarian, on site. Thank you for showing us the tip of the ice berg in our returning wounded along with some fantastic ideas for helping. Thank you for the arc, Dale Mayer, Booksprout. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I didn’t think this series could get any better but I was so wrong! This time it is is Cole’s chance to recover from his serious injuries and start to live his life again. He is under the care of Sandra and their chemistry is dynamic! I can’t stress how wonderful this story is with strong likeable characters and an addictive storyline. I loved it and highly recommend it to you.

I found this story quite emotional, almost heartbreaking at times but also very inspirational. No matter how broken these guys feel they still deep down have that core that makes them fight to survive whatever gets thrown in their path, is it easy? no anything but. They have to dig deep and really want the recovery with every part of their soul, then they have to learn to trust their teams. The biggest battle isn't getting the strength back or any of the physical side its the psychological that causes the most issues, opening up and talking about anything and everything on and in their minds, definitely not something these strong tough military guys find an easy task. But then sometimes the women working with them don't always find it easy either. This series gives some insight into just a small portion of the battles fought by those in services and injured, yes this story is fiction but reading it feels as though there is a base of truth somewhere, maybe the author knows or has experienced these problems at some stage either directly or just by connection. Either that or a lot of deep research was done, because I can imagine the reactions and problems to be very real. The scenery and animal side of the story are beautiful, it sounds like a place I would love to know, volunteer or work at, a calming and healing place containing all the best elements for maximum recovery for human and animals. Absolutely loving this amazing series and feel blessed to be able to read it.
