Passion ignites and possibilities unfold. Welcome to the Windy City Romance series.

Gabe Jackson’s military days are over, and she can’t wait to reconnect with her Army buddies in Chicago to open the garage they always dreamed of. When she visits her canine companion Max, who was injured in a bomb blast, she’s immediately attracted to the Sanctuary’s owner.

Lori Turner nurses her broken heart and the rescued animals at the Sanctuary. Her brutal divorce damaged her confidence and her ability to trust, but when Gabe enters her life, solace and uncertainty intertwine.

As chemistry sparks and walls crumble, will Lori find the courage to trust again, or will secrets tear them apart?What advanced reviewers said about Sanctuary:“Without a shred of doubt, Sanctuary is a delight to read - an absolute dream of a story, and one that I adored getting thoroughly lost in. This slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance is a tale you won’t want to miss out on.

” ~ Queer Literary Loft"Sanctuary is the first Helena Harte book I have read and, thankfully, the first in a new series from her. It is clear from very early in the story that Harte is carefully crafting a rich and diverse cast of characters for the series, and each of them is worthy of the attention I am sure they will get in future books.

" ~ Erin"I adore Harte's writing style. Each book gets better and better.

The pairings she's created have a wonderful connection and can tell they will be together for the long haul. " ~ Michelle.
