Home At Last: A Ravensbrook Romantic Suspense Short Story (Morgan & Fairchild)

A romantic suspense short read set in Ravensbrook.

Kelvin Fairchild is used to walking into danger. It’s the job. It’s the weight. It’s the price of keeping other people breathing.

Imogen Downes has built her life around surviving it. Years ago, she escaped the kind of nightmare that should have ended her, and she turned the wreckage into purpose: Ashbury House, a safe haven for women and children escaping violence, and The Chambers, a lifeline for teenagers with nowhere else to land. She doesn’t just believe in second chances. She builds them.

But Ravensbrook isn’t as quiet as it pretends to be. A leak. A trafficking network. A trail that keeps circling back to Imogen and the house she built. And when the past she fought to bury begins moving in the present, it becomes clear she’s not just in the wrong place at the wrong time. She’s the loose end.

Kelvin and Imogen tried once, despite her walls and the ghosts behind them. When she cut him off, it broke something in him he didn’t know could break. Now the threat is real, the clock is running, and Kelvin refuses to lose her to a darkness that already took too much. He’ll tear apart every secret, every lie, every link in the chain to get to her. And Imogen is about to learn the hardest lesson of all: Home isn’t a building you create for everyone else. It’s the person you finally stop running from.
