The Belanger Family Saga is Naomi Rawlings’ debut series, beginning with Sanctuary for a Lady (later reissued as The Lady’s Refuge) in 2012. Set during the French Revolution, the first book follows an aristocratic woman left for dead in the woods who is rescued by Michel Belanger, a farmer whose conscience overrides the danger of sheltering someone from the nobility.
The subsequent books continue with other members of the Belanger family, each facing their own conflicts against the backdrop of revolutionary France and the Napoleonic Wars. The Widow’s Secret follows Jean Paul Belanger, a farmer with a dark past, and a widow struggling to support her five children. The Reluctant Enemy places Danielle Belanger in an impossible position when she discovers a group of Englishmen hiding in the woods near her home. Each book works as a standalone romance while building out the family’s story across a turbulent period of French history.
