She came to Pine Ridge to hide. He taught her it was safe to be found.

Emma Sullivan fled Denver with nothing but fear and a desperate need to start over. Her ex-boyfriend's obsessive behavior drove her to the small mountain town of Pine Ridge, where she hoped to disappear into a quiet life as a third-grade teacher. The last thing she needs is another man complicating her carefully constructed peace.
Mike Carter has spent years being the reliable one—the younger brother who shows up, fixes problems, and never asks for anything in return. When he volunteers to help with a school birdhouse project, he doesn't expect to fall for the guarded, fiercely independent teacher who flinches every time her phone buzzes.
As Emma's past follows her to Pine Ridge and her stalker ex-boyfriend refuses to let go, Mike becomes her unexpected anchor. But Emma has spent too long being controlled to let anyone else take over her life—even someone who only wants to protect her. She'll have to learn that accepting help isn't weakness, and that some foundations are worth building together.
When her ex makes a final, desperate play that threatens everything she's built, Emma must decide: keep running, or stand her ground and trust that this time, love means something different.
Building Trust is a sweet, small-town romance about healing from toxic relationships, finding community, and learning that the strongest love is built on respect, patience, and showing up—even when it's hard.
This is Book 2 in the Building Love series but can be read as a standalone.
