Prodigal Son by Abbie Zanders

He lost everything once. He’s not going to let it happen again.
Matt Winston led a charmed life. Great family, great friends, and a girl he’d do anything for.
Then tragedy struck. He lost everything, including his way. He dealt with it the only way he knew how – by becoming the best damn SEAL team leader he could be. Now he’s out of the service, stronger, wiser, and with a new purpose: turning his burnt-out family legacy into a place where he can help fellow vets find their way back into civilian society.

Nothing will bring back what he lost—except possibly the small town corruption that brings her back to into his life.
When Hayley Freed left town suddenly all those years ago amidst rumors and scandal, the hardest part had been walking away from the only boy she’d ever loved.

He’d been her knight in shining armor then. In her heart, he still was.
Now she’s back, and she’s not alone. She’s bringing justice, vengeance, and karma with her. This US Deputy Marshal is on a mission, and it’s as personal as it gets.

And maybe, just maybe, she’ll get a second chance to do right by her knight in the process.
As Matt and Hayley work together to rid their sleepy little mountain town of the rampant greed and corruption threatening to destroy it, will they re-discover the magic that will give them the happily ever after they deserve?

Prodigal Son is the exciting conclusion to Abbie Zanders’s Sanctuary series, a contemporary romantic suspense series featuring former military heroes and the women who always have their six.
