Sandpipers Restaurant Chef Mark Carter is immediately attracted to the painfully shy Raven. A single parent, Raven has brought his young son for a visit with Brody’s little brother, Wolf. However, Mark is not the only one attracted; Raven is also sneaking peeks at Mark.

Raven's Mark is the second book in the superb Sandpipers Series. The characters are exceptionally creditable in this heartwarming episode. Mark, whose happy family life was torn apart with the death of his parents, is a neurotic perfectionist. Never having met a potential long-term partner, Mark throws everything he has into his new position at Sandpipers Restaurant. Meeting Raven and his son, Mark realizes he wants the three of them to be a family. However before Raven can have a relationship with Mark, Raven must first battle his demons into obedience. Haunted by his abusive past, Raven suffers panic attacks, as well as nervous stutters. Determined not to lose his son or Mark, Raven fights for the kind of life he has always wanted.

Jade Archer has created an amazing romance with compassionate characters. I thoroughly enjoyed Raven's Mark.
