Where Trust Begins

"True strength isn't in holding on—it's in letting go, trusting someone to catch you, and realizing that love is the safest place to fall." 

Hazel thought her life was finally settling down after years of raising her three boys alone. Then came Lucas—a steady, protective presence who quickly became more than a friend. He was the man Hazel never knew she needed, a man her boys adored, and someone who could see right through her walls. But when Lucas’s protective instincts clash with Hazel’s fierce independence, their passionate relationship is tested in ways neither expected.

As Hazel struggles to let go of her past trauma and learn to trust again, Lucas asks for more than her heart—he asks for total surrender. Caught between her desire for control and her longing for true love, Hazel must face her deepest fears. Can she trust Lucas to lead her into a future filled with love, passion, and stability? Or will her fears and insecurities pull them apart forever?

Where trust begins is an intense, emotional romance that explores the delicate balance of trust, power, and vulnerability. It’s a journey of love, family, and discovering that sometimes, the hardest thing to do is let go—and trust someone to catch you.
