Synopsis

A mysterious young woman calling herself Katie arrives in the small coastal town of Southport, North Carolina, keeping to herself and asking for nothing. She takes a job at the local diner, moves into a spare cottage in the woods, and slowly lets down her guard — first with her forthright neighbor Jo, then with Alex, a widowed store owner raising two young children.

But Katie is running from something. Behind the quiet new life is a violent marriage she escaped, and a husband who will not let her disappear. As romance grows between Katie and Alex, the danger she fled closes the distance, and she is forced to decide whether she can trust anyone with the truth about her past.

Nicholas Sparks blends tender small-town romance with mounting suspense in Safe Haven, a story about fear, second chances, and the courage it takes to believe you deserve to be loved and safe.
