Oberon Book 3: Sound of a Voice That Is Still

Oberon, California, a respite from the fast-paced world, a haven full of family and friends. Yet even its tranquil setting can’t prevent the past from continuing to haunt Siobhan.

Siobhan Quinn returned to Oberon after a tragedy nearly destroyed her life. For the past ten years, she has lived in relative isolation, hanging on to the last remnants of her sanity by immersing herself in work at her rescue center. However, lately she finds loneliness weighing heavy on her soul. When a chance encounter brings Ryan Henderson into her life, Siobhan feels a pull towards him that is hard to ignore. Ryan has been sidelined from his work on the police force by an injury that is slow to heal. When he comes to work in her rescue center to fill the empty hours, Siobhan finds it hard to resist the lure of friendship and perhaps something more that Ryan offers. Yet after all she has suffered, can she risk her heart again? Will Ryan still be interested once he learns her secret?
