Safe Haven

When a mysterious woman named Katie arrives in the sleepy coastal town of Southport, she's running from something—or someone—and determined to keep her distance from everyone around her. But her carefully constructed walls begin to crumble when she meets Alex, a kind and patient widowed store owner, and his two children, who see past her guarded exterior in the most disarming ways. As Katie slowly allows herself to hope for a real life again, the dark secrets from her past threaten to shatter the fragile happiness she's finally found, forcing her to choose between the safety of isolation and the terrifying, beautiful risk of letting people love her. Sparks masterfully weaves a tale about finding home not in a place, but in the people brave enough to stay and fight for you—even when you're afraid to let them.
