Part of The Cage Family
First published 2025
Isabella wakes up one morning to find Weston Caldwell gone. After two months of passion and future planning, he leaves only a note behind. She shuts down her heart and focuses on family obligations, swearing off love completely. When circumstances force her to seek refuge in her family's small town, she comes face to face with the man who destroyed her trust. Weston had devastating reasons for his departure, reasons that shake everything Isabella believed about their breakup. The attraction between them ignites stronger than before. His siblings welcome her, the town charms her, and she discovers new family connections that complicate her city life. But Isabella carries secrets of her own from the past. As she and Weston navigate their renewed connection, hidden dangers threaten to destroy their chance at reconciliation. They must confront both old wounds and new threats if they want to build something lasting together.
