Texas Sage

Callie never expected her mother's death to change her life...especially not like this. After a childhood marked by trauma, she's built something unshakable: a powerful career in Seattle, a life of control, and just enough distance to keep the past where it belongs. Grief isn't what unsettles her. It's everything that comes after. At her best friend Sophie's urging, Callie agrees to escape to a Texas ranch as a temporary break from the life she's carefully constructed. But the moment she arrives, control begins to slip. Because he's there. The man she hasn't been able to forget since a fleeting encounter at a wedding-haunting, magnetic, and carrying wounds that mirror her own. What starts as a distraction becomes something deeper when an unexpected accident forces Callie to stay longer than planned. As the walls she's spent years building begin to crack, she finds herself opening up in ways she never has. About her past, her pain, and the parts of herself she's kept buried. But time is running out. A life waits for her back in Seattle. Responsibilities. Expectations. The version of herself she's always been. Now, with a love interest she didn't see coming, a truth about her family that changes everything, and a future she can no longer ignore, Callie is faced with an impossible choice: Return to the life she built... or risk everything for the one she's only just begun to discover.
