REFUGE TRILOGY
"A sweeping, unforgettable love story."
Book One
On a dusty, sweltering night, Noor Khan - a beautiful, headstrong Afghan refugee - comes face-to-face with Charlie Matthews, a brash young American aid worker. To Noor’s fury, Charlie breaks every cultural norm and insists on pursuing her. She wants nothing to do with him. Her only goal is to win a scholarship overseas and escape the bleak confines of the refugee camps.
​
But when her brother threatens to marry her off, Noor is forced to seek refuge in the last place she ever imagined - Charlie’s home. Suddenly, everything she believes in is thrown into question.
​
Set in the mystical, volatile city of Peshawar - where trust is a rare commodity and everyone has an agenda - Refuge is a sweeping, unforgettable love story about hope, resistance, and the search for meaning in a cruel and cynical world.
Book TWO
Noor has been flown to Saudi Arabia to begin her life as a princess. Charlie has returned home from Pakistan, bruised and broken.
​
Each faces a brutal temptation. Noor, believing Charlie is dead, must decide whether to accept her new reality and try to assimilate into the Prince’s family. Charlie, knowing how unlikely it is he’ll ever see Noor again, must somehow move on.
​
But neither can let go. Noor yearns to be free. Charlie yearns to free her. And so, against impossible odds, they each set a plan in motion.
​
In Resilience, the second novel in the Refuge Trilogy, N. G. Osborne continues Noor and Charlie’s extraordinary journey - one that will test the very limits of their love, and its power to endure.
Book Three
Eight years have passed. Charlie remains imprisoned in a Saudi Arabian jail, while Noor has built a quiet life for herself and her child in North Carolina. But after 9/11, the world has changed and so have the dangers they face.
​
The same question still haunts them both: will they ever reunite? And if they do, can they truly live in peace? Charlie is serving a life sentence. The Prince still has men searching for Noor. The odds are impossibly high.
​
But one thing has never wavered - their love for each other. It gives them the strength to take risks others would never dare.
In Release, the third and final novel in the Refuge Trilogy, N. G. Osborne delivers a gripping, emotional journey with one burning question at its heart:
Can Noor and Charlie ever be free of the forces determined to tear them apart?
