Home is where the heart is—and this one is haunted.
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The author of the Rebel Blue Ranch series returns with a brand-new story, featuring a small-town upholsterer in need of a fresh start, a photographer whose life has come to a screeching halt . . . and the supernatural forces that bring them together.
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 parents’ antiques shop out from under them, she doesn’t have a choice—at least, that’s what she tells her family. They don’t need to know she’s lost her job and is out of money. Or that the ghosts who 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 absolutely and 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 who have been pushing them together—wondering whether their temporary arrangement could be something more permanent.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
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.

Unique and Entertaining
Love Lyla Sage’s writing, and I found this twist on the story interesting, oddly realistic, and believable. I really enjoyed the build up. Excited for the next book!
