Belonging Season

He was searching for somewhere to belong… Searching for a place to call home, Merrick Taylor's journey takes him to sunny California, but instead of finding solace, feelings of loneliness and despair consume him. A broken man, Merrick has always been told he is a failure, and growing up with a narcissistic mother and an absent father only made things worse. She could be the family he needs… But everything changes when he meets Hollyn Steele, a survivor of her own traumatic past. As they bond online over their shared experiences, Merrick sees a glimmer of hope and a chance at a new family. However, when he suddenly disappears, Hollyn is left wondering what happened to him. But just when all hope seems lost, a phone call changes everything. In this heart-wrenching tale of healing and redemption, will Merrick finally break free from the chains of his past? And will Hollyn's unwavering support be enough to mend his shattered heart? Note to reader: This book contains mild descriptions of physical violence, narcissistic abuse, drug use, mental health issues, and alcohol use that may trigger some readers. Readers can read each book in the Steele Family Saga as a standalone, but the characters do cross over. If you want to meet all the members of the family, it is best to read the books in order.
