Shelter for the Innocent is a Danger in Destiny novella that is available exclusively to newsletter subscribers.

A child in danger

When Police Officer Joshua Carrington responds to a 9-1-1 call, he quickly discovers the house has been ransacked. He thinks it's empty until he finds a little girl hiding in a cabinet. Zoe's parents are missing and she's visibly terrified. The child is unable to speak and explain what happened. For now, she needs a safe place to stay, and Josh takes on the assignment of protecting her.

A shelter in the storm

Penny Hughes is a foster parent who has dreamed of helping children like young Zoe. She thought she was prepared for any child placement, but this situation is completely different. Her friend, Josh, will be staying with them, too. Can they find a way to reach the young girl and figure out what happened to her parents?

Too many unanswered questions

Each step forward with the investigation unearths more unanswered questions. Zoe's parents aren't who they seem to be, and it becomes increasingly clear that whatever danger they encountered is headed Zoe's way. Working together, will Josh and Penny be able to reunite Zoe with her parents, or will the little girl's life be changed forever?
