A storm, a sanctuary, and a marriage that begins as a shield-and becomes a lifeline.
Falsely accused and hunted by her late husband's powerful family, Lady Genevieve Hartwell vanishes into a remote coaching inn under the name Mrs. Bell. When a brutal tempest strands travelers for the night-including the man sent to drag her to an asylum-Genevieve's escape ends...until a scarred stranger steps between her and ruin.
Captain Lucian Blackstone, a war-worn officer bound for his neglected Welsh estate, wants solitude-not entanglement. But when he witnesses the hunter's attempt to seize Genevieve, his protective instincts flare to life. One knife-drawn confrontation, one wound, and one desperate flight later, their only refuge is Blackstone Manor-and a new lie that keeps her safe.
To secure her future, Lucian offers the only shield the law cannot easily break: a marriage of convenience. What begins as protection becomes impossible to deny as the two repair a crumbling home, face nightmares that stalk the dark, and find a fierce, healing love neither expected to survive.
When the past storms their door-armed with forged charges and scandal-Genevieve must claim her name and Lucian must stake everything he is to keep her free. Justice may demand a public reckoning...but love has already made its vow.
Refuge for a Lady's Heart delivers a Gothic-tinged Regency with forced proximity, found sanctuary, a tortured warrior, a brave fugitive heroine, and a guaranteed HEA. Expect windswept Wales, candlelit confessions, knife-edge danger, and a marriage that turns into a forever home.
Heat level: Steamy open-door (sensual, character-driven intimacy); not erotic.
Perfect for readers who love wounded heroes, marriage of convenience, storm-trap tension, healing arcs, and a heroine who refuses to break.
