Safety is not just about escape. Sometimes it is about staying. Chris I know what people see when they look at me. Reliable. Solid. Someone you can count on when things go wrong. When Suzie arrives in Fellside with her young son and a past she refuses to talk about, I recognise that look in her eyes. Fear, wrapped in determination. I promise myself I will keep my distance, but the more time I spend with her and Max, the harder it becomes to imagine a life where they are not part of mine. Suzie I am tired of running. Tired of packing up my life at the first sign of danger. Fellside feels different. Calmer. Chris makes it feel safer still. He is patient, steady, and far too easy to trust. When the past catches up with me and everything I have built is threatened, I have to decide whether I am brave enough to stop running and let someone stand beside me. A protective, emotional small-town romance with suspense, found family, and a love that proves safety can be something you build together. This is a re-edited and refreshed edition of the story previously published as Climb with Me, Book Four in the Fellside Mountain Rescue series. The series has been lovingly revisited with polished writing, added depth, and a few updated story beats. Set in the north of England and written in British English.
