He knows a good piece of property when he sees it and he doesn’t hesitate to pursue a project once he has it in his sights which are precisely why he doesn’t hesitate when he spots Pepper Paddison on the sidewalk of a run-down apartment complex near Bell Heights. He knows she’s the one and he’s going to acquire her through fair means or foul.

     Noelle Perkins has seen the pain “love” can cause, and she wants nothing to do with it. Until she meets her best friend’s older brother. The attraction may be mutual, and she’ll eagerly act on it, but that’s all it can be. Xavier Benson has witnessed firsthand the consequences of lust through his father’s many relationships. He wants Noelle more than his next breath, and while he’s not sure what that means, he knows it can’t last. Fate has other plans for these two, though, and that’s forever. Warning: Inside these pages, you’ll find a man and woman who fall instantly, yet fight it for fear of being hurt. Psst…don’t fret, I always deliver a safe and happy ever after. **This is book seventeen in the A Forever Safe Christmas Series.**
