Soul Searching

A Sweetwater Peak Novel

By: Lyla Sage

Narrated by: Jason Clarke, Samantha Brentmoor, Lyla Sage

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.

A fun new crossover for Lyla Sage

A fun new small town romance with a paranormal twist! The narrators are two of my favorites and the story was lighthearted and enjoyable all around

Lyla’s done it again

I adore Lyla Sage!! If you were wanting to dip your toes into western without going full blown cowboy this is perfect!!

I prefer the RBR series but all the mods to that in this book really warmed my heart. I also liked that this had such a strong personal journey to go with the romance. And let me tell you it may be a slower burn but when it heats up it HEATS UP.

Unique story

I’ve really enjoyed all of this authors books. They are well written and feel like you are right there with all the characters. This one was super fun with the paranormal elements.

she did it again!

what a great book, the theme was unique and it was great to hear hints of Meadow Lark here and there, can't wait to see what comes next! Fabulous one
