Her Refuge

Since her release from prison, Alex has led a life under the radar on the fringes of society, fiercely protective of her teenage daughter. But when a surprise inheritance catapults her to the head of the wealthy Garrison Foundation in San Francisco, she's thrust into a world she never asked for. Tracy, an investigative journalist with a sharp mind and a ton of ambition, takes a volunteer position at a women's shelter subsidized by the foundation, determined to uncover the truth about its mysterious new president, only to find Alex as guarded as she is magnetic.
Their attraction sparks into something deeper, but Alex's past isn't done with her yet and Tracy's deception might destroy any chance they have. When you've spent your life hiding your feelings, can you learn to trust in yourself and in the future?
