Free Falling

Old haunts, new feelings.

Clarke Cartwright probably needed to get out more. She just had a lot to do. Running Toade's Antiques was no small feat, especially considering that the roof was in shambles and half her merchandise was unsellable. But dealing with that felt easier than her other two options: third-wheeling with her best friend...again, or chatting it up with the ghost of her childhood crush's father, who just can't seem to leave her alone.

Leith Wilkes has spent his life preparing to take over his family's farm. Well, he's actually spent most of his life flirting, but now he's ready to buckle down, which has nothing to do with an oddly specific clause that his dad left in his inheritance. Leith is pretty sure he's the only one who knows about it...until Clarke drunkenly spills that she knows, too, along with a bunch of other Wilkes family secrets.

Leith starts to wonder if there's more to Clarke than she lets on...and if his dad has something to do with it. And if she is keeping secrets of her own, maybe she won't mind helping him with his.

Review

Lyla Sage enters the world of paranormal storytelling with an absolute knockout. Cozy, compelling, and clever, Soul Searching is a tender love story that lights up the shadows. I can't wait to visit Sweetwater Peak again ― B.K. Borison, author of Good Spirits

Soul Searching is a masterpiece. It's a book that reaches into your heart and heals parts of you that you didn't know needed healing. Lyla Sage continues to raise the bar with every book she writes ― Hannah Bonam-Young, author of People Watching

Delightfully spooky with the perfect swoon-worthy and heartfelt romance, Soul Searching is a must-read for fall. I'll devour anything Lyla Sage writes! ― Nadia El-Fassi, author of Love at First Fright

Soul Searching is my new favorite ghost story. I fell immediately in love with black cat Collins and certified Sweet Boy, Brady, along with the entire town of Sweetwater Peak. Lyla's writing is singularly atmospheric, and Soul Searching is the perfect blend of spooky and cozy. I'm already chomping at the bit for the rest of this series. Lyla Sage is the queen of flirty banter! ― Rosie Danan, author of Fan Service

Charming, steamy and wonderfully romantic. Lyla Sage delivers an endearing small-town romance layered with the perfect dose of supernatural elements to make this story unique, fresh, and unforgettable ― Devney Perry, author of Juniper Hill, on Soul Searching

Lyla Sage excels at creating places you want to visit, and she does it by crafting characters you want to see those places with. Sweetwater Peak is a town where life and death meet, where nothing ever changes, and yet somehow everyone who visits it ends up changed. No one demonstrates this contradiction more than Brady and Collins, the nuanced and lovable stars of Soul Searching. These two lonely souls find comfort in each other as they deal with ghosts both literal and metaphorical, and their romance is as tender as it is hot. Soul Searching is spooky, sweet, and sexy, and I absolutely adored it! ― Sarah Hawley, author of Servant of Earth

Lyla Sage has crafted a story that is equal parts love letter and ghost story. Soul Searching sparkles with banter, aches with longing, and reminds us that sometimes the scariest - and most beautiful - thing is letting yourself be seen ― Tricia O'Malley, author of Love's a Witch
