Elizabeth Parkins lived through a nightmare come true—getting kidnapped by a serial killer. Seeking a fresh start, she moves to Texas, but escaping her demons proves impossible when she’s too terrified to leave her own apartment. A small, accidental fire sparks a coping method she’d never expected, and brings an amazing man to her door.
Firefighter Cade “Sledge” Turner’s idyllic life ended the day his sister was kidnapped. Now he knows firsthand that tragedy can befall anyone, at any time. Meeting Elizabeth on the job was a gift. Cade can envision spending his life with this woman. He understands what she’s been through, is willing to help her heal…though even Cade is unaware of Beth’s new secret obsession.
As Beth takes steps to help herself heal, and Cade attempts to earn her trust and prove his own, they’re both about to be tested—in a way that could see everything they’ve worked for go up in flames.
* Shelter for Elizabeth is the 5th book in the Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

Elizabeth Parkins has been through hell, and, although she carries the scars with her, she’s doing what she can to reclaim her life. For Cade Turner, firefighter and white knight, coming to the rescue and saving lives is who he is. When he meets Beth, his protective instincts come out full force, and he’ll do anything to make sure she feels safe.
At the heart of it, I like Susan Stoker’s books, but, man, she puts her characters through the ringer! In SHELTER FOR ELIZABETH, Susan tackles the very real subject of phobias and coping mechanisms, and does so thoughtfully and gracefully.
One of the things that I like best about Susan’s books is that we continue to get updates on characters that we’ve met before, and to see where they are now. I look forward to seeing more of Beth and Cade, Penelope, Hayden, and the rest of the crew in the near future, and give SHELTER FOR ELIZABETH 4 healing, romantic, and steamy stars.
