Safe Word is Stay: When Power Meets Surrender in the Stillness of Snow

Some bonds aren't meant to break. They're meant to be chosen.
When powerhouse attorney Ava Morgan crashes from burnout, she doesn't expect to find peace-or temptation-in a remote mountain cabin. But then she meets Cole, the quietly commanding caretaker who doesn't demand control... he invites surrender.
What begins as slow-burn tension unravels into a sensual journey of trust, restraint, and release. With every rope knot and whispered word, Ava discovers the strength in softness and the pleasure in yielding-on her terms.
But when desire deepens into something more, Ava faces a choice: return to the world she's mastered, or stay in the arms of the man who's helped her unlearn everything...except how to feel.
The Safe Word Is Stay is a steamy, emotionally rich romance perfect for readers who crave slow-burn heat, dominant softness, and cozy kink nestled in snowy isolation. For fans of flannel, firelight, and the kind of love that ties you up just to set you free.
