Margaretta Fortescue desperately needs to disappear from London society, and her only hope is to follow the rumors of another young woman who recently made a life for herself away from the glare of society. Her search leads her to the market town of Marlborough where, in spite of her efforts to avoid attention, she can’t seem to elude local solicitor Nash Banfield.
All Nash wants is a quiet, sedate life–no risks or surprises. When Margaretta, clearly on the run and unwilling to answer questions, interrupts his solitude, his curiosity and his principles won’t let him leave this determined woman without assistance.
But will discovering the truth about Margaretta make him think twice about finally taking a risk on love?

Summary
From: Rebecca Maney
Book Title: A Search for Refuge
Book Author: Kristi Ann Hunter
What do you like about this book:
" . . .worries belonged to the Lord since He stayed up all night anyway."
The Lord only knew how many worries Margaretta carried under the hood of her bright yellow cloak when she stepped off the mail carriage in Malborough, England. Following the trail of a months old letter from a dear friend, she found herself in Lancaster's store, nearly begging for food and dodging questions from a tall, dark and handsome local solicitor.
Nash Banfield's keen instincts told him that "traveling alone, traveling light, and hiding her face", meant that the young woman who had just stepped into his town was running away from something . . or someone. Determined curiosity and a deep affection for Mrs. Lancaster propelled Nash forward, anxious to make sure the kindhearted storekeeper was not duped by a pretty face and a sad tale. However, neither of them was prepared for the challenges that one simple introduction would require.
Kristi Ann Hunter's series prequel swells with encouraging reminders that the "morrow shall take thought for the things of itself", for "no matter how lost she (Margaretta) felt, none of this was a surprise to God".
