A Sanctuary of the Heart - Ragin' Moon Refuge, #5

When Sophia Lujan flees Las Vegas to escape a controlling ex-boyfriend, the last thing she plans on is trusting a stranger.

Security specialist Stephano Lascari has spent years protecting people. So when a frightened hotel housekeeper stumbles into his life and confesses she's being stalked by a man who refuses to let her go, he can't walk away. Instead, he offers her, and her beloved Basset Hound, Bash, a safe place to hide: Ragin' Moon Refuge, the Montana sanctuary his family founded for women with nowhere else to turn.

Far from the bright lights of Vegas, Sophia finds something she never expected—a close-knit family, loyal friends, and a chance to finally breathe without fear. As she settles into life at the refuge, her growing feelings for Stephano make her wonder if she's found more than safety in the mountains of Montana.

But some men don't give up easily.

When signs emerge that her ex may have tracked her to the refuge, Sophia must decide whether to keep running or trust the people determined to stand beside her. And Stephano will do whatever it takes to protect the woman who's quickly becoming the most important part of his life.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Rocky Mountains, A Sanctuary of the Heart is a heartwarming small-town romance filled with family, friendship, healing, loyal dogs, and the power of second chances.
