SEQUEL TO SAFE Bella has never felt so safe in her life. The boys were helping her recover, and by adopting her, she felt like she had somewhere she belonged. No one had ever made her feel so accepted before. However, she knew better, and nothing was always as easy as the boys liked to make out.

But with the right people, she knew she could get through it because she had the most important part. Hope.
