Some sanctuaries are loud. Some are lit in neon. Some feel safest when the doors close and the night begins.
Rachel arrives at The Glass Heel carrying more than she lets on. The club’s pulse, its drag shows, its unapologetic joy—all of it should feel overwhelming. Instead, it feels like the first place in a long time where she can breathe without bracing for impact.
Jordan knows the Glass Heel well. He isn’t there to save anyone, or to play hero. He understands that safety isn’t something you seize—it’s something you offer, quietly, and only if it’s wanted. What he gives Rachel is steady, unassuming, and patient enough to let trust arrive on its own terms.
As the night unfolds around them—music thudding, performers commanding the stage, the crowd rising and falling in waves—Rachel finds herself grounding not in the spectacle, but in the small moments beside …

As the night unfolds around them—music thudding, performers commanding the stage, the crowd rising and falling in waves—Rachel finds herself grounding not in the spectacle, but in the small moments beside Jordan. A shared glance. A hand resting nearby. The realization that she doesn’t have to explain every flinch or justify every fear.
Sanctuary Nights is not a story about rescue. It’s about what happens when someone chooses to stay, to listen, and to believe you when you say you’re not ready to be brave yet.
Set almost entirely within one transformative night at The Glass Heel, this is a slow-burn, emotionally intimate romance about learning how safety feels in the body—and how love can grow without urgency, expectation, or control.
Sanctuary Nights is a tender, deeply human LGBTQ+ romance about trust, recovery, and the quiet power of being met where you are.
Book 4 in the Glass Heel series—standalone but interconnected stories about refuge, resilience, and the many forms love can take.
Perfect for readers who ✨ Transgender romance (trans woman / cis man) ✨ Trauma-informed love stories ✨ Slow-building emotional intimacy ✨ Found sanctuary and chosen safety ✨ Character-driven, lyrical storytelling
