Safe With You: A Small Town Romance (Veterans of Silver Ridge Book 2)

For years, Tristan Donnelly has been the distant confidant the family “adopted” as a soldier. Through her letters, she has shared her hopes and her deepest griefs, and he has quietly become her support from afar. Now, with her brother’s debts putting her in danger, she needs his help. Marriage would give her access to her trust and offer some protection, and Tristan is the only man she can imagine asking—even though she has always loved him without ever meeting him.

A retired special ops soldier, Tristan agrees to marry her. They intend to live separately, but he insists she stay with him so he can keep her safe. At last face to face, she discovers that the man who has mattered so much to her is gentle, capable, and distractingly handsome. Their arrangement is meant to end once the money comes through, when she plans to return home.

But living with Tristan gives her a glimpse of the life she wants. As she finds the courage to stand up for herself, she realizes she no longer wants her old life—and begins to hope for something lasting. She just doesn’t know how to stay when their marriage was only meant to be a temporary favor.
