Publisher Description
Once upon a time, Elsie Ireland thought she’d found the man of her dreams, only to learn her fairytale romance was just another cautionary tale. Beyond a perfect family image, her husband had little interest in Elsie, and even less in their son. Years later, she and nine-year-old Tony have landed in Fallport, Virginia. She’s working two jobs and living in a motel, but Tony has a roof over his head and plenty of love. For Elsie, however, love isn’t in the cards. She doesn’t have the time to spare…or the trust.
After serving his country as a Green Beret, Zeke Calhoun was happy to get out of the military and settle into small-town life as a bar owner. His position with Eagle Point Search and Rescue fulfills his need to serve and provides some of the best friends he’s ever known. He didn’t realize anything was missing until it was right under his nose every day—his sweet, shy waitress, Elsie.
It isn’t easy to convince the independent, gun-shy single mom to let him in, and with memories of his own disastrous marriage still plaguing him, Zeke isn’t fully certain he’s the best bet for a healthy relationship. But one stolen kiss in a heightened moment, and he’s a goner. Vowing that Elsie and Tony’s lives are about to change for the better, Zeke is up for the challenge of proving not all men are like her ex.
A task made significantly more difficult when a complication throws the couple’s fledgling relationship off course—then quickly spirals into a life-or-death situation no one saw coming.
** Searching for Elsie is the second book in the Eagle Point Search & Rescue Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

Second chances
Very well written story of two people coming from failed marriages learning to trust and work together starting a new family. As always this author brings some mystery and intriguing into her books. Very nice story and I enjoyed this book very very much.
Great
Elsie married and thought she’d live happily ever after until her husband changed. He started to put her down and berate her. When he says his boss likes his employees to be family men, she gets pregnant. Elsie’s husband Doug never took an interest in their son Tony. When Tony was four, Doug started berating Tony and Elsie had enough and left.
Five years later Elsie finds herself in Virginia working two jobs and living in a motel. But she loves her son and would do anything for him.
Zeke is former military but now lives in Virginia, owns a bar and works for Search and Rescue. He never thought he’d give his heart away again until Elsie and Tony came into his life. His ex did a number on him and didn’t want to get hurt again.
The more time they spend together, the harder they fall. Until the past comes back into their lives and puts them all in a tailspin. They are put into a dangerous situation and hopefully they all make it out alive.
Loved the small town feel. Zeke and Elsie are made for each other. It just takes them a while to figure it out. Sex. Friendship. Crazy ex.
