-- Romantic Times on The Refuge

One of the Top Picks for October from Romantic Times!

Nestled in the Colorado Rockies, the Wainscott Foundation provides a place of hope for expectant mothers from war-torn regions of the globe. Here, women with nowhere to go, find refuge.

Raised to a life of privilege, Marisa Joubert has escaped a terrible fate and understands the fear of being alone, penniless, and frightened. Determined to make a new life for herself, and support her young son, she takes a job at the Wainscott Refuge. Almost immediately, she senses that something there is very wrong.

When one of the young women disappears, Marisa's suspicions escalate. Especially about Jimmy, the janitor, who may not be as naive, or as innocent as he pretends to be. Marisa knows he's involved in the mysterious events at the Refuge. But which side is he on?
