Last Refuge

Witness to a horrific crime, Savannah is looking for a place to hide. Cooking at an out of the way ranch seems like as a good a refuge as any. She didn't expect to find a sense of safety, of family-least of all an attraction to the ranch's brooding eldest son. Hard working and serious, Trip mends his broken heart like he mends fences on the family ranch, filling his time with his duties in an attempt to put heartache behind him. He tells himself he likes it that way. Until the new cook arrives to spice up his life in ways he never imagined possible. Savannah fascinates him. She's an enigma, full of mysterious stories and strange quirks that draw him to her with no clue what lies in her past.

Despite her feelings, Savannah can't let Trip know the truth and she certainly can't let her adversaries find her. But when danger catches up and the stories start to unravel, will Trip protect her? Can he?

Last Refuge is the fourth Thomas Family Novel, a series of standalone novels featuring characters connected to the Thomas Family of Syracuse, Kansas.
