Until You Step Closer
(2026)One Touch From Losing Control
(A book in the Safely Dangerous series)
A novel by Sasha Clark
He kissed her once and walked away.
He left behind a matchbook, a phone number, and one promise: if she ever needed out, he would get her out.
Six months later, she still has the number—and the man attached to it lives twenty yards from her front door.
Sheila Grace has spent three weeks pretending she doesn’t see him.
Rhys Keane has spent three weeks watching her fail.
Then one bad night leaves Sheila with nowhere else to turn.
She makes the call.
Rhys answers.
And suddenly the dangerously controlled man she remembers is opening doors no one else can open—and looking at her like the kiss he walked away from was never forgotten.
Rhys has rules. Sheila has never been particularly interested in following rules she doesn’t understand.
The problem is that every time she steps closer, restraint gets harder to remember.
Every touch makes walking back across those twenty yards less appealing.
And the more Sheila learns about the quiet power behind Rhys Keane’s name, the more dangerous one particular question becomes:
What exactly does he mean when he tells a room, ‘She’s with me’?
Genre: Romance
