Stepping Out of Bounds – A Sneak Peek at Playing it Safe
Up Next in the SASU Universe – Coming Soon
Sweet Score was chaos, cupcakes, and accidental frosting-based foreplay.
Playing it Safe?
This one’s quieter. Stronger. And it just might break your heart in the best way.
Meet Brett Thompson.
Steady. Loyal. Reluctantly roped into a petting zoo visit by his sister (thanks, Dylan).
He’s the kind of man who shows up, gets it done, and doesn’t let anyone close.
Enter Samantha Crosby.
Sharp. Independent. Runs an equestrian therapy center for special needs kids. Doesn’t have time for flirtation—or football players.
Their first meeting? Sparks. Tension. A goat may or may not be involved.
Their next few? Complicated. Intimate. And very much not part of the plan.
🐐 Vibe Check:
A stubborn horse named Oatmeal
An athlete learning how to just be still
The soft ache of wanting someone you’re not sure you can have
And a woman who learns that leaning on someone doesn’t make her weak
❤️ What You’ll Get in Playing it Safe:
A best friend’s brother slow burn
Emotional intimacy over grand gestures
Petting zoo shenanigans
Disability rep, therapy animals, and real conversations about identity and expectations
A romance that doesn’t shout—it settles in
This isn’t the loudest book in the SASU universe.
But it might be the most honest.
Playing it Safe is about stepping out of your comfort zone, choosing connection over control, and learning that safe doesn’t mean small—especially when it’s with the right person.
Coming soon.
(And yes, there’s a very dramatic baby goat.)
