Charlotte I ran from true evil four years ago, and I’ve been running ever since. I’ve mostly managed to make a new life for myself and my kiddo in Boston, but I’ve always known my past could catch up at any moment. Life with a toddler and working full time at a pheromone clinic for rabid alphas keeps me busy enough that I don’t have too much time to worry about “what-ifs.” At least until the MC I ran from starts circling. It goes against every instinct that I have to put my trust in the mafia family that comes to my aid. I’ve seen what organized crime does to a person—it chews you up and spits you out—but I know when I’m in over my head. The O’Connor brothers are the only thing standing between me and paying for the sins I committed years ago... The only problem is, I’m not sure they’ll be enough to keep us safe. Safe and Sound is a standalone set in the same world as Bonded by Christmas. It can be read independently or together for a fuller world view. This is Charlotte's complete romance with no cliffhanger! No past character crossovers to any of my other series. No cheating, no OW drama, and the men always fall first. The release date is a placeholder and will be brought forward once the book is done with editing.
