She had perfected the art of being invisible. Until he saw her.
Jane Everly knows there is safety in being overlooked. As a lady’s companion with no fortune and few prospects, she has learned to ask for little, expect less, and keep the woman she once was carefully hidden.
Gabriel Ashford never expected to become the Duke of Hawkesmoor. Then a fire took his entire family and left him the only one behind. Six months later, he is still trying to understand how a man goes on living when everyone he loved is gone.
Neither expects a summer house party to change anything. But Gabriel notices the woman everyone else overlooks, and Jane recognizes something in the grieving duke that others fail to see. What begins with quiet conversations becomes an unexpected friendship, and slowly, something neither believed they would ever have begins to feel possible.
A future.
But the past has not finished with them. Questions linger where there should have been answers, and the same hidden threads that have already touched the lives of those around them are beginning to pull tighter.
For Jane, remaining invisible may no longer be enough to keep her safe. For Gabriel, loving again means risking the one thing he has already learned he cannot bear to lose.
Because surviving is not the same thing as living.
Saving Lady Jane is a clean Christian Regency romance of grief, courage, faith, and unexpected love. Each Vows of the Heart romance tells a complete love story, while familiar characters and an unfolding mystery weave through the series.
She fell in love with a man she’d never truly met.
Beatrice Colburn has spent her whole life on the quiet edges of society, content with her father’s vicarage and the gentle rhythms of Little Brambly. She met the Earl of Westmarch only once — but three years of his sister’s letters painted a portrait she couldn’t forget.
Now, invited to the London Season, Beatrice finds herself face to face with the man she’s admired from a distance. But Nathaniel Harland is not merely the brother his sister described. His warmth unsettles her. His burdens run deeper than she imagined. And someone is conspiring to take everything he has.
Armed with nothing but sharp eyes and a faith that refuses to look away, Beatrice must decide how much she’s willing to risk for a man the world says she has no right to love.
Winning Lady Beatrice is the first book in the Vows of the Heart series — clean, faith-filled historical romance set against the glittering world of Regency England.
Some secrets can't stay hidden.
Moira MacLeod returns to the Highlands carrying a secret that could destroy everything—her reputation, her family's honor, and her betrothal to Ewan MacRae.
She's prepared for him to walk away. Any sensible man would.
But Ewan MacRae has his own ideas about honor.
A historical romance of healing, redemption, and a love that refuses to let go.
Content Guide
The Vows of the Heart Series
Because your heart matters, and so does knowing what to expect before you open these pages.
The Vows of the Heart series explores themes of healing, faith, and redemption set against the backdrop of Regency England and Highland Scotland. While each book is ultimately a story of hope and love overcoming darkness, some of these stories walk through difficult terrain to get there.
Below you’ll find a book-by-book guide so you can read with confidence, or know when to take a breath.
At a Glance
Every book in this series is a clean, closed-door faith based romance. There is no explicit sexual content on the page. Physical intimacy is handled with emotional depth and firmly closed door. Faith is woven throughout, not as a sermon, but as a thread of grace that grows alongside each couple’s journey.
∙ Clean & Closed Door
∙ Christian Historical Romance
∙ Regency Era, 1779–1810
∙ Faith-Forward Themes
Prequel: Vow of the Heart
This story depicts an on-page physical assault of a sexual nature. It is not graphic beyond the violence itself, and the heroine’s courage and faith carry her through. The pregnancy that results from this assault is central to the story, and readers should be aware that themes of shame, stigma, and the cruelty of others toward an unwed mother are present throughout.
This is, at its heart, a story about healing, but the healing is earned slowly, honestly, and with the kind of grace that doesn’t pretend the hurt wasn’t real.
Content Guide: Intimacy Level 2 · Innuendo Level 1 · Swearing Level 0 · Violence Mild
Trigger Warnings: Death of a parent and grief. Sexual assault. The assault is on the page but not graphically described.
Book One: Winning Lady Beatrice
No content warnings are needed for this book. The story explores class prejudice, social cruelty, and the weight of secrets within a love story. A suspense subplot introduces a broader conspiracy, and there are references to events from the prequel in conversation. But there is nothing here that goes beyond what readers of Christian historical romance would expect. You can go into this one with confidence.
Content Guide: Intimacy Level 2 · Innuendo Level 1 · Swearing Level 0 · Violence Mild
Trigger Warnings: Death of parent and grief.
Book Two: Saving Lady Jane
This story follows a marriage born from desperation rather than love, and the slow, honest word of building trust within it. Grief runs through the first half with real weight — the hero carries the loss of his entire family, including an infant and a young sister, and the question of faith in the aftermath. The heroine carries a deep fear of pregnancy and childbirth rooted in witnessing her mother's death, a fear that returns with new force in the second half when the stakes become very real. Beyond the romance, arson, psychological manipulation, and a criminal trial all play significant roles in the conspiracy thread.
Content Guide: Intimacy Level 2 · Innuendo Level 1 · Swearing Level 0 · Violence Moderate
Trigger Warnings: death of family members (referenced and remembered), maternal death in childbirth (referenced flashback), pregnancy and childbirth fear, survivor's guilt, grief, nightmares, attempted murder by arson, brief peril.
Themes Across the Series
A human trafficking and arms-dealing conspiracy connects all six books. Each couple uncovers a new layer of this network, and each heroine's testimony builds toward its dismantling. The evil in these pages is real and taken seriously, but the series' deepest conviction is that love, faith, and collective courage can overcome it.
Readers should also know that references to sexual assault carry through multiple books from the prequel, growing in scope as the full pattern of the villain's crimes is revealed. Psychological manipulation by a socially powerful villain is a recurring thread, and the damage it does to real people is never minimized. Violence, when it appears, is depicted with restraint in most books, though Books Three, Four, Five, and Six contain on-page acts of physical or lethal violence handled with moral seriousness rather than spectacle.
Faith in these stories is not a quick fix. Characters pray, doubt, wrestle with God, and find grace, but never easily. It is the thread they hold onto when everything else is breaking, and it grows stronger because it was tested.
These stories walk through darkness because that is where grace shines brightest. Every book ends in hope. Every couple finds healing. And every sacrifice across six books builds toward a truth worth believing in: that love, patient, courageous, and held together by faith, can overcome the worst the world offers.
