Refuge for a Lady’s Heart: A Wounded Soul Finds Safety Where the Wind Howls Most (Tales from the Matchmaker’s Society #2)
Eva Lyndale
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 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 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.
