★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "This series is hard to put down! Lots of drama, love, and laughter."

Fans of Netflix's Virgin River series and Sweet Magnolias will love this small-town, feel-good romance!

Hayley Elliott's sister has found a cure for Alzheimer’s and their mom is living proof that the supplement works. To keep everyone safe, Hayley has to return to Montana. But she can only do that with help from Tank—a man who’s living with a secret more heartbreaking than her own.

Tank has spent his life protecting people. He works for one of the most successful security companies in the world, makes more money than most people see in a lifetime, and has a past no one can ever know about.

With more at stake than their own lives, Tank and Hayley have to decide what is more important—protecting the past or risking everything for love.

SAFE HAVEN is the first book in The Protectors series and can easily be read as a standalone. All of my series are linked so you can find out what happens to your favorite characters in other books. Happy reading!

"Moments to smile, cry and melt your heart! So many avenues to travel for future storylines...can't wait!" Amazon review.

"I am addicted to Leeanna Morgan's books! The only problem with them is that I hate coming to the end of one, and can't wait for the next good read." Amazon review.
"I really enjoyed reading this, the characters were awesome and the story kept you reading till the end, I like happily ever after. Where's the tissues?" Amazon review.

From the Inside Flap

"Someone's found us, Sophie. Mom and I have to leave." Hayley looked across the manicured lawn of the dementia unit. She was in trouble. If anyone overheard her phone call to her sister, it could make her life even more difficult.
"But you've only been in Fort Wayne for three weeks. They can't have found you so quickly."
"I don't know how they found us in Indiana, but they're here. Someone followed me when I drove Mom home from the library."
"Are you sure they were following you? They could have been going in the same direction."
"We were definitely being followed, but that's not the only thing that happened. A man came into the nursing home this afternoon. He wanted to speak to Mom."
She heard her sister's sharp intake of breath. "Did he see her?"
"He didn't get anywhere near her. There are strict rules about who can visit the patients."
"But he knows you're there?"
"Yes."
"This isn't good." Sophie sounded as worried as Hayley. "Did you find out who he was?"
"He didn't tell the receptionist anything about himself, apart from being a phony long-lost cousin. I tried finding someone who could access the security footage, but it's Sunday. The admin staff won't be here until tomorrow morning."
"I'm sorry," Sophie said. "I shouldn't have said anything about the dietary supplement to my professor."
"You've found something that could help people with Alzheimer's. You had to tell him. It's not your fault he couldn't be trusted. We're okay for now, but I'm not taking any chances. We're leaving tonight."
"Don't leave until tomorrow morning. Someone followed me yesterday. I've spoken to the owner of a security company because I was worried about you. He's sending one of his team to Fort Wayne."
Hayley focused on the vehicles in the parking lot. She wanted to believe Sophie, she really did. But after six weeks of being terrified that someone would find them, she'd had enough.
"I don't know if we've got time to wait for help."
"You're safer in the dementia unit than driving on the road."
"I need to get mom away from here." Hayley took a deep breath and tried to calm her racing heart. A young woman crossed the parking lot and headed in her direction. "I have to go. I'll text you when I find somewhere safe to stay."
Hayley disconnected the call and walked swiftly across to Angelique. "Were you able to download the security footage?"
"I can't access it, but I've called in a favor from another staff member. He'll be here in an hour."
"Thank you." Hayley hugged Angelique.
"You're welcome, but I don't know why you can't go to the police. You haven't done anything wrong."
"I can't risk anything happening to Mom. The police won't do anything until whoever's following us breaks the law. She could get hurt while I wait for the police to do something."
Angelique walked back with her to the nursing home. "What are you going to do?"
Hayley looked at the building where she thought they'd be safe. "Pack our bags and leave."

***
Tank looked at the exterior of Woodview, a nursing home on the outskirts of Fort Wayne. He didn't usually meet clients at nursing homes, but it didn't matter. It was no different from a consulate in Taiwan or a hotel in Kabul. When someone needed help, he was paid to look after them.
He glanced at the background information he'd been given. Hayley Elliott was a twenty-eight-year-old nurse who worked in the building in front of him. Her mother, Alice Elliott, was an advanced Alzheimer's patient at the same facility.
His assignment was simple--bring them back to Montana.
Their seats were booked on the next flight out of Fort Wayne. When they arrived in Bozeman, he'd drive them to Emerald Lake. In five hours, Hayley would be drinking coffee with her sister and mom, sharing stories about their adventure in Indiana.
For him, it was a matter of case closed and onto the next one.
But Hayley Elliott obviously had other ideas. For the last few minutes she'd been throwing suitcases into her car. She was in a hurry.
He glanced at the other vehicles in the parking lot before getting out of his SUV. He didn't want to scare her, so he made as much noise as he could.
She moved one of the suitcases around, then reached for her jacket.
He was only a few feet away from her but she still hadn't noticed him. It was no wonder she needed protection. He cleared his throat."Hayley Elliott? I'm--"
She spun on her feet, her arm stiff and straight.
Damn. He twisted sideways, blocked her with his forearm, but not quick enough to miss the pepper spray aimed at his face.
The pain nearly blinded him. He moved forward, grabbing her as she ran around the side of her car.
Instead of pulling away, she stepped into his arms and kneed him in the groin.
He swore something fierce, turned her around and pushed her against the side of the car, trapping her between the cold metal and his aching body.
"Let me go," she screamed. "Help! I need help!"
"I am the help," he ground out. "Your sister sent me."
Hayley didn't stop twisting and turning. "You're lying. Get off me you big oaf."
"Your sister is Sophie Elliott. She works at Emerald Lake with Ryan Evans."
"Anyone with half a brain could have looked that up on the Internet. Tell me something the rest of the world doesn't know."
"She's discovered a treatment for people with Alzheimer's. It's not patented."
Hayley stopped moving. She sucked in a lungful of air. "Keep talking."
"John Fletcher owns the security company where I work. Your sister asked us to bring you and your mom back to Bozeman. If I didn't think you'd spray me again, I'd give you my phone to call him."
She relaxed against her car. "I don't know who John Fletcher is, but I believe you."
Tank wasn't taking any chances. He blinked hard, trying to force the spray out of his eyes. "Where's the pepper spray?"
"I don't know. You knocked it out of my hand."
There was no point looking for it. He couldn't see anything.
"I'm sorry for spraying you."
He grunted. "Kneeing me in the groin didn't help, either."
"Are you okay?"
He let go of her wrists and stepped away from the car. "My face feels like it's on fire and other parts of my body aren't much better." He leaned forward, resting his hands on his knees.
"I've got some ice inside. You could...you know..."
"I'll be okay," he muttered.
"It will help with the swelling."
Tank didn't want to think about what his body was doing. "As soon as I can see, I'm taking you and your mom to the airport. We're going to Bozeman."
"Not on a plane, we're not."
He bit back a reply. "We're flying to Bozeman tonight."
"Mom can't fly. She gets really agitated."
"How agitated?"
"Enough for the airline staff to stop her getting on a plane. It's her Alzheimer's. She doesn't like the noise the engines make."
"Is your mom okay traveling in a car?"
"Yes."
He stood up and held back a groan. "It looks as though we're switching to plan B. We'll drive to Bozeman."
Hayley sighed. "Are you sure you know what you're doing?"
Tank frowned. He thought he did, but a five-foot-eight blonde with a can of pepper spray had surprised him.
And that hadn't happened in years.

Q&A With Leeanna:

You live in New Zealand. Why did you decide to set your novels in Montana?

When I started writing Gracie's story in Forever Dreams I had no idea we'd end up in Montana. But Gracie is a determined woman. She hopped on a plane and left New Zealand for Big Sky country and the most incredible journey of her life. Along the way we discovered that New Zealand has more in common with Montana than we thought - amazing scenery, lots of wide open spaces, and people with kind hearts and warm smiles. We found a home away from home and decided to stay.

Who are the authors you enjoy reading?

I love happy endings :) My favorite authors are Nora Roberts, Jill Shalvis, Kristan Higgins, SJ McCoy, Melody Grace, Jayne Ann Krentz, Barbara Freethy, Pamela Kelley, Debbie Macomber, and Robyn Carr.

What are the best things about being an author?

I enjoy bringing a character's happy ever after to life. It's wonderful plotting out a book, seeing my hero and heroine overcome obstacles and find true love. I also enjoy receiving feedback from my readers. It's wonderful when a story touches someone's heart.

I've been on a streak of shorter stories unexpectedly so when this one got to what would have been the end of the other stories it kept going adding more to the story not just dragging it out. It resolved the happenings, I have been frustrated with authors having characters declare they really like each other and then the end, uh need more. This book delivers. Exciting beginning that jumps you into the story but doesn't leave you wondering what is going on. It builds the storyline well with great characters and believable storyline and events. Good read. Clean no intimate details or language.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2022

This stand-alone is easy to follow. No editing errors, gratuitous violence or drag-you-down drama.

This storyline is about building relations, PTSD and romance. There is a bit of mystery but the author does not go into much detail so if it’s mystery romance you enjoy, this might not be the book for you. The characters and dialogue are okay, nothing memorable.

“It’s easier to think the rest of the world is wrong than to look at your own actions.”

No desire to re-read this story. I am interested in other works by this author.

Safe Haven by Leeanna Morgan - I did enjoy the book. It was an adventure that brought two people together and they found love. It had elements of real life issues with Alzheimer's being a big focus and also touched on the demons Military Personnel have to deal with experiencing PTSD which so many people on the outside never see, and it brought together two amazing souls. Both Tank and Hayley are well written characters who come together and find love helping each other through some pretty heavy life experience and ordeals.
