Out of the Ashes. The Phoenix Institute, #4

To save their son, they might have to sacrifice their love- and their lives. Former Navy SEAL Daz Montoya and rescue dog handler Renee Black have made a career out of saving people. But when their whirlwind affair resulted in pregnancy, Daz's verbal fumble tore their budding relationship apart. It's been a tough eight years for Renee, raising Charlie alone with his autism-fueled impulsiveness, but she's managed-until now.
When she has to chase him to the edge of a cliff in a snowstorm, seeing the face of their rescuer is just the rotten cherry on top of an already rough day. In the close confines of a snowbound cabin, Renee and Daz rediscover the heat still simmering between them. But while Renee welcomes Daz's renewed determination to help Charlie however he can, she's reluctant to trust him with her heart. With the Phoenix Institute's help, Renee and Daz discover their son's gift for animal telepathy is real.
And that to save him from old enemies that would kill to control him, they must join forces-and risk losing everything they've ever loved. Warning: Author's Note: This is a revised version of a book originally published as "Phoenix Inheritance."
