Safe and Sound

He found her broken in an alley. Her only request was to disappear. He decided to rebuild her from scratch.

Paramedic Luke is trained to stabilize and transport. But when the battered woman in his arms pleads with him—*not the hospital, please, he'll find me*—he makes a different call. He takes her home.

His treatment plan is absolute. Erase the trauma. Erase the fear. Erase everything that came before. Through routine, softness, and an unwavering hand, he constructs a new reality. He hunts down the shadows of her past so she never has to. He replaces terror with trust, pain with pacifiers, until the only thing she knows is the blissful, crinkling security of being his.
