Safe Place

Sophie Lennox has learned one thing above all else: the only person she can rely on is herself. Emancipated at seventeen, she works three jobs to pay for her pre-law degree at Westcliffe University. She built her life brick by brick from the wreckage of a past she refuses to let define her. Sophie doesn’t need saving. She doesn’t need anyone.

Micah Vale is the heir to a global real estate empire. He has always known exactly where his life is headed. Every door opens for him before he even reaches it. His future is planned, predictable, and completely under control.

Until he meets Sophie. She’s quiet, guarded, impossible to read. She is the first thing in Micah’s world that feels truly unscripted—and the more he learns about the life she’s fought to build for herself, the harder it becomes to walk away.

So he doesn’t. He shows up once. Then again. Then again.
Slowly, impossibly, Sophie begins to trust him. Somewhere between the walls she swore no one would ever cross, she finds herself leaning on him in ways she never allowed before. But for a girl who has only ever had herself, vulnerability is the most terrifying risk.

And when the past Sophie fought so hard to escape begins closing in, she’s forced to confront a truth she never imagined could be possible: For the first time in her life, she might not have to face it alone.
