Safe With You. Safe Spaces, #1

When the past comes hunting, love becomes the safest place to land. When a workplace connection ignites under pressure, healing and heartbreak collide in a romance shadowed by danger. She came to Hull House for a fresh start, not to fall for the one woman who could change everything. Krista Smith has worked hard for her peace. Fifteen years sober and newly starting a counseling job at Hull House, she wants structure, purpose, and a safe place to rebuild.
The last thing she needs is Toni, her confident, magnetic new officemate, walking in with a smirk, a sharp suit, and the kind of presence that throws Krista's carefully ordered world completely off balance. Toni is bold where Krista is guarded, fearless where Krista is cautious, and impossible to ignore. What begins as friction quickly turns into something far more dangerous, an attraction neither woman can deny.
Then a terrifying crisis at work shatters every professional boundary between them, revealing a connection deeper than either of them expected. But just as Krista begins to believe she might be ready for love again, a threat from Toni's past closes in. With old wounds reopening and danger creeping ever closer, Krista and Toni must decide whether what's growing between them is strong enough to survive fear, trauma, and the ghosts that refuse to stay buried.
Safe With You is an emotional sapphic romance about healing, chosen family, second chances, and finding safety in the arms of the one person who feels like home. Trigger Warnings:AddictionHomophobiaStalkingGunsViolence
