Love Don’t Live Here Long

Sydni Jefferson learned a long time ago that love never stays where she comes from.

So when a quiet, dangerous stranger starts watching her back, she has no intention of mistaking protection for affection.

Marcus isn’t a hero. He knows the men circling Sydni’s apartment, understands the rules they live by, and carries connections of his own. The closer he gets to her, the more dangerous her life becomes.

Then Sydni discovers the trouble at her door didn’t start with Marcus.

It started with the man she thought she had already left behind.

Now somebody wants what her ex left behind, Marcus knows more than he originally admitted, and Sydni is caught between men who keep deciding what she should know, where she should stand, and how afraid she should be.

But Sydni Jefferson has never been good at letting other people make her choices.

Marcus didn’t save her.

He complicated everything.

And somewhere between secrets, threats, betrayal, and a love neither of them planned for, Sydni has to decide whether letting someone stand beside her is the same thing as needing him to save her.

LOVE DON’T LIVE HERE LONG is a gritty urban romantic suspense about trust, danger, boundaries, and what happens when love shows up in the middle of a mess it didn’t create.
