She thought she’d buried the past. He was sent to uncover it. Neither expected to fall in love.

After a botched FBI sting, Agent Noah Bennett is sent to the quiet coastal town of Fairhaven to lay low. He plans to keep his head down, follow orders, and stay invisible. But then he meets Claire Martin, a sharp-witted grocery store cashier who is equal parts warmth and walls, and the last thing he expects is to start caring.

Claire has spent years trying to forget. Her brother vanished after a scandal she has never fully understood, and the last thing she needs is another man with secrets. Especially not one with quiet eyes, an infuriating smirk, and a black and white cat who keeps showing up in her store.

When a buried threat resurfaces and a long-lost photograph leads to a dangerous discovery, Noah and Claire are thrown into a mystery that ties them together in ways neither saw coming. With trust broken and danger closing in, they will have to decide what is worth fighting for, and whether some risks are worth taking after all.

Filled with slow-burn romance, suspenseful twists, and a cat named Georgina who always seems to know more than she lets on, Safekeeping is a heartfelt story of forgiveness, found family, and love that’s worth the wait.
