USA Today bestselling author Margot Scott delivers a spicy, age-gap, found-family romance in the gripping first chapter of the Safe and Sound duet.

I was on the hunt for a devil the night an angel fell into my lap.

Before she even whispered her name, I wanted to throw her over my shoulder and smuggle her out of that poisoned playground, a gilded cage where the scotch is aged to perfection and youth is chewed up and spat out onto the Italian marble.

The killer I’m tracking has a thirst for innocence, something Holly possesses in spades.

I’m so hot on his trail that I can taste him, but until my cuffs are on his wrists, I’m keeping this angel under my wing.

In my arms and in my bed where I can protect her.

Where I can be the man she craves.

And the daddy she needs.

Stay Baby Stay is a romantic suspense novel and the first chapter in the Safe and Sound duet, featuring a protective daddy in uniform, a quietly fierce heroine with anxiety, unshakeable friendships, and themes of vigilante justice. A full list of trigger warnings can be found below.
