═══ ABOUT THE BOOK ══

She came to Charleston running from a life she'd spent living for everyone else—a life that had slowly stolen her spirit and left her unable to trust anyone. Especially men.

​

Then, one night in a crowded Charleston hotel bar, a stranger placed his hand on her lower back and guided her through the crowd. One kiss made her forget everything she'd run from.

​

So she ran again.

​

Without knowing his name. Remembering only the feeling of his lips on hers, his hands on her waist, and the emerald-green eyes she couldn't get out of her mind.

​

Three days later, Sofia agrees to spend a week helping her best friend prepare for an event at a sprawling ranch estate in Aiken.

​

What she doesn't know is that the man she ran from owns it. Or just how possessive and dominant Jackson Callahan is. And no matter how many times Sofia tries to run from him, Jackson has no intention of letting her go.

​

The closer he gets, the harder she runs. But Jackson Callahan has never been afraid of a challenge. And when the past Sofia thought she'd left behind comes looking for her, she may discover that the one man dangerous enough to unravel every defense she's ever had is also the first person who makes her feel truly safe.

​

*Safe* is a steamy slow-burn contemporary romance with a possessive hero who knows exactly what he wants and a heroine learning that letting someone in isn't the same as losing herself.
