151 pages · First published 2018
Margaretta Fortescue needs to vanish from London society and follows rumors of a woman who successfully built a new life away from its scrutiny. Her search takes her to Marlborough, where local solicitor Nash Banfield quickly notices that the determined stranger is running from something she refuses to explain. Nash wants a quiet life without risks or surprises, but conscience and curiosity make it impossible for him to leave Margaretta without help. This Haven Manor prequel novella brings together a woman desperate for refuge and a cautious man who must decide whether learning her secret is reason to retreat or reason to risk love.
