SOUL SEARCHING A sweetwater peak novel

LYLA SAGE

Book - 2025

"Collins Cartwright does not want to go home. Sweetwater Peak, Wyoming was supposed to be in her rearview mirror, but when she finds out a developer is trying to buy her parent's antique shop out from under them, she doesn't have a choice-at least, that'swhat tells her family. They don't need to know she's lost her job and is out of money. Or that the ghosts that have always been her companions have recently gone silent. But just because she's returned home doesn't mean she has to stay with her parents or crash on her twin sister's couch. Lucky for her, the new-to-town upholsterer has a room for rent above his store. Unluckily, it is absolutely crawling with more ghosts who are freezing her out. ...And Collins hates being ignored. Brady Cooper is absolutelyand totally fine. Seriously, there's no secret reason why he decided to uproot his life and suddenly move to Sweetwater Peak. He just needed a change of pace. At least, that's what he tells himself. And everyone else. When he agrees to let the elusive Collins Cartwright stay in his spare room, he doesn't know that she's absolutely bonkers-constantly talking to herself and having conversations with no one-or that she looked like that. But as they begin to get closer, the lines between them start to blur leaving both of them-and the ghosts that have been pushing them together-wondering whether or not their temporary arrangement could be something more permanent"-- Provided by publisher.

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Bestseller Sage (the Rebel Blue Ranch series) makes an impressive first foray into the paranormal with her Sweetwater Peak series launch. Photographer Collins Cartwright has communicated with ghosts her whole life--but recently, every ghost she sees has been ignoring her. Between jobs and short on cash, she reluctantly heads home to Sweetwater Peak, Wyo., where her twin sister, Clarke, gets her a temporary gig and a place to stay with local upholsterer Brady Cooper. Brady had abandoned a stressful career as a software engineer for a gentler life in Sweetwater Peak using skills taught by his grandfather. He's attracted to his beautiful new house guest, but worries for her sanity when he hears her talking to herself in her room--until Collins informs him that his house is haunted and he gradually comes to believe her paranormal stories. A subplot about a shady developer circling Collins's parents' antique shop brings the budding couple closer as they work together to stop the deal. Ghostly backstories, elements of supernatural mystery, and sensual romance keep the pages flying. Sage proves adept at switching genres. Agent: Jessica Watterson, Sandra Dijkstra Agency. (Sept.)

Review by Library Journal Review

After years on the road as a photographer, Collins Cartwright reluctantly returns to her small hometown of Sweetwater Peak, as her twin sister, Clarke, has alerted her to a developer trying to buy their family's historic home and business. Collins is also grappling with personal loss: a crisis of confidence in her photography and the mysterious fading of her ability to communicate with ghosts. Clarke arranges for Collins to stay with Brady Cooper, a reserved newcomer to Sweetwater Peak. Brady and Collins couldn't be more different. She's spirited and daring; he's guarded and methodical. However, their unlikely pairing brings out the best in both. As Collins helps Brady adjust to small-town life, he becomes an unexpected anchor in her own journey to rediscover herself. But just as their bond deepens, someone from Brady's past resurfaces, threatening not only their fragile connection but the Cartwright family's future. Together, Brady and Collins must confront what, and who, they're willing to fight for. VERDICT Sage (Wild and Wrangled) introduces a compelling cast of characters in a heartfelt story that fans of Elsie Silver will adore. Perfect for readers who love opposites-attract romances with emotional depth.--Ashli Wells
