Publisher's Summary
She’s a survivor, but it will take someone truly special to make her see how strong she can be.
As a former Night Stalker Army pilot, Callen “Owl” Kaufman has been in his share of dicey situations. Long-since retired from the military, he thought dangerous missions were a thing of his past, but rescuing Lara Osler from a serial killer was definitely one of the most harrowing yet. Now safe at The Refuge, Lara is struggling to heal months later...and Owl is struggling just as hard to hide his growing feelings. But he’ll do anything to help the vulnerable woman recover—even if that means letting her go.
Kidnapped by a boyfriend? Check. Held against her will by a serial killer? Check. Falling in love with her rescuer? Triple check. Lara thought her life was over, until her best friend showed up to save her with one of the most intriguing men she’d ever met. Owl is gentle, considerate, and he makes her feel safe. As time passes, Lara slowly begins to reclaim her life, thanks to the man who opened his heart and his home to a broken woman. But Owl doesn’t see her as damaged. He sees someone who’s gone through hell...and come out stronger on the other side.
But strong enough to face a serial killer? Owl and Lara both know the man who terrorized her is still out there, biding his time. Waiting for his chance to steal back what he views as his....
Deserving Lara is the fifth book in The Refuge Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

what a ride
Susan you've done it again. These guys, these women. What a journey each book takes us on.
This story dealt, yet again, with a delicate topic and delved into the h's handling of what happened to her.
The first part of novel lulled me into a warm feeling of the h getting better with the H being the best a man could be to help her.
It was swoonville.
Then as I listened all about Owl and his demons it seemed to be such a poignant pairing of the 2 as PTSD influenced so much of their life. Which the refuge being the perfect place.
Every time I listened to the protagonist plotting it gave me bumps and I got so angsty...I just knew Susan was going to drop a doozy, it's the lulling into a false sense of security. I just wanted to stop with Life is Good.
But in true Susan form I knew what was coming and it had me fidgeting, I just
had to hang on for the dreaded shoe to drop, and drop it did, with twists and sinister turns.
And I'm proud to say my hunch was right. It was just awesome and I happy danced which turned out to be a relief as the suspense Susan cleverly wove was just perfection. What a ride the action side of this plotline was.
It was a beautiful beginning and an action packed ending
I am in awe of Emma Wilder, her narration was brilliant especially the male voice. Aaron Shedlock is one of my faves so it was an amazingly brilliant listen.
Susan Stoker is just gah! Wonderful.
