Clarke Cartwright has enough on her plate without adding ghosts, family secrets, and a certain charming farmer to the mix. But when Leith Wilkes needs a fake relationship to protect his family's legacy, Clarke may be exactly the person he needs. What starts as an arrangement quickly becomes much harder to keep pretend when old feelings and undeniable chemistry enter the picture.

The Vibe

Set in the quirky, haunted town of Sweetwater Peak, Free Falling brings together an antique shop owner and a farmer whose lives are tangled up in family, history, and a few very persistent ghosts. Clarke is navigating the pressures of keeping her family business afloat while trying to understand her own unusual connection to the supernatural.

Leith is charming, devoted, and determined to secure his future on the family farm. His solution brings Clarke into his orbit, where their carefully constructed fake relationship begins to feel surprisingly natural.

With cozy small-town atmosphere, playful paranormal moments, simmering romantic tension, and a hero who is completely gone for his heroine, this is a warm, funny, and steamy romance about finding connection in unexpected places.

Fans of character-driven romance, meddling ghosts, complicated family dynamics, and fake dating with real feelings will find plenty to love in this return to Sweetwater Peak.
