Charity Sandson didn't come to Forks to find love. She came to survive.
Charlie Swan has spent his life keeping people safe - but when a woman with haunted eyes and a battered Buick arrives in his town, he realizes some wounds can't be mended with a badge or good intentions.
Between rainstorms, broken fences, and the slow rebuilding of a life, Cherry and Charlie find something neither of them dared hope for:
A place to belong.
A chance to heal.
And a love that's patient enough to wait.
Safe Enough is a bittersweet, slow-burn romance about survival, trust, and the quiet ways people find their way home.

Always closer.Complete

Little Light (GxG)
In a world that moves too fast, she's learning to breathe slowly. To feel again. To let someone touch the parts of her she thought were long gone. There are no crowns here. No thrones. Just the quiet war of learning how to be held without flinching. She doesn't beg for safety. She creates it in silence. And when she kneels, it's not for weakness- it's because she trusts. But trust has a pulse. And it just might be hers. A story of shadows softened by light, of control given, not taken. Of healing whispered through touch, and love written in silence. This isn't where the pain begins. It's where it learns to rest. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ : EMOTIONAL INTIMACY SUBSPACE SLOW-BURN HEALING TRIGGERING THEMES (VULNERABILITY, TRUST, PAST TRAUMA) 🔴 Tops: 🔴 1.
