Safe Love - Paperback

by Jessica Pichula (Author)

Stella

Leaving wasn't the hard part-staying in a life that broke me was. After escaping an abusive relationship, I found myself in the quiet town of Love, Saskatchewan. I came looking for safety, but what I found was something more: a chance to rebuild, to breathe, and maybe even to belong. Surrounded by strong women who refused to let me fall and a community that embraced me as one of their own, I started to believe in second chances. And then there was Calvin, with his quiet strength and haunted eyes-he saw the parts of me I'd long buried. For the first time, I wondered if I was allowed to want more than just survival.CalvinI didn't have time for complications-my family's lumber farm was crumbling, and the pressure felt like it was on me to save it. But then Stella walked into town with her guarded smile and fire-forged spirit, and everything shifted. She wasn't just strong, she was the kind of strong that makes you want to be better. I wasn't looking for love, but now I'd risk everything to protect the peace she fought so hard to find. Even if the past came back to threaten us both.
