Safety Measures

In the aftermath of her parents' death, Blaise North had one person who saw her through it: Ares Hart. But her feelings for him forced her to set a rule — no more kissing — to protect her heart. Six years later, life brings her back to the same rule, aimed at the same man.

Ares grew up watching his parents' marriage fall apart and vowed never to repeat their mistakes, even if following that vow meant hurting the person he cared about most. When he's finally ready to make up for his mistakes, Blaise is the one thing standing between the promise he made himself and the future he actually wants. A childhood-friends, second-chance contemporary romance about grief, fear, and choosing someone anyway.
