Free Falling

A Sweetwater Peak Novel

Author Lyla Sage
Old haunts, new feelings.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Rebel Blue Ranch series returns to the haunted town of Sweetwater Peak for another love story, this one featuring an antique shop owner and a farmer who fake a relationship to save their legacies…but will they be able to fool the ghosts of their past?


Clarke Cartwright probably needs to get out more. She just has a lot to do. Running Toade’s Antiques is no small feat, especially considering that the roof is in shambles and half her merchandise is unsellable. But dealing with that feels easier than her other option: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.
Free Falling is the perfect small-town romance that’s equal parts sexy, spooky, and cozy. With every chapter, Clarke and Leithʼs tender dynamic pulled at my heartstrings. Lyla Sage delivered, and I will read anything she writes.”—Joss Richard, internationally bestselling author of It’s Different This Time

Free Falling is a love letter to anyone who has found themselves stuck at the bottom of a dark hole—and the people who sit with them until they’re ready to pull themselves out. Lyla Sage is the queen of dreamy, spooky, atmospheric small-town romances—I’ll read anything she writes.”—Iman Hariri-Kia, author of Female Fantasy

Free Falling is packed with all the Lyla Sage signatures: cozy vibes, super-steamy romance, and lots and lots of heart. It’s impossible not to fall in love with Clarke—just ask Leith, the most down-bad man ever put to page—and let her own mental health journey heal something inside you, too. This might be the end of the Sweetwater Peak series, but I know I’ll be revisiting again and again.”—Tyler McCall, author of forthcoming People Like You
