Tyler Campbell only went to college to get away from home. He didn’t know the love of his life would find him in a coffee shop and become his obsession.
Susie Lombardi thought good things like Tyler Campbell didn’t happen to her.
If drug use and promiscuous behavior are a problem for you, you will not enjoy this book.
I encourage you to read the sample or the free “Beginning” before purchasing the book based on reviews. My good reviews are all genuine as far as I know (no sockpuppets, no friends or family reviews, no paid reviews) but that doesn’t mean this book is for everyone. Although I’ve tried to keep my price low for a story of this length, it’s still a lot of money to some people. Please read the sample before blindly purchasing the book.
The heroine, Susie, is described by many as a “slut” or an “anti-heroine.” To some, “slut” is a derogatory term. To others, it’s simply a definition. Regardless, I stand behind Susie 100%. She’s the woman I set out to write. She’s not perfect but she still finds unconditional love.
To those who want more of this story: I have sequels planned for some of the other characters. Susie’s relationship with her family, as well as key events between the ending and epilogue of Safe With Me will be better fleshed out through the eyes of other characters who have interesting stories of their own. A non-erotic sequel titled “Matt & Daisy” is planned for early 2013, with possibly more sequels to follow. I am also working on a non-erotic prequel that will shed light on Susie’s family history and why she pushes Tyler away.
At present, I’m working on books under other pen names that are more in line with the expectations of “mainstream romance.” My heart’s desire is to write more books like Safe With Me, and those are also in progress.

Shaina Richmond is originally from the Pacific Northwest but has had the pleasure of living in eight different states and four different countries during her lifetime. She loves to write stories with too much plot, too much dialogue, lots of characters, and she’s partial to heroes who are tall, dark, handsome, and long- haired. She finds it hard to stay within a genre, or within a specific word count.
Shaina writes contemporary, lighthearted romance as “Reeni Austin.”
