What to expect

Love Lyla Sage? Return to the haunted town of Sweetwater Peak with her brand-new small-town romance Free Falling. Available for pre-order now!

THE INSTANT NO. 1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The author of the Rebel Blue Ranch series is back with a stirring Western romance about a new-to-town upholsterer, a photographer whose life has come to a halt, and the supernatural forces that bring them together.

Home is where the heart is - and this one is haunted.


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' antique shop, 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 that have always been her companions have recently gone silent.

Brady Cooper is absolutely 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.

But when he agrees to let Collins stay in his spare room, he doesn't realize that she constantly talks to thin air or
that she looks like that. Good thing their arrangement is only temporary. Right?

Critics 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, New York Times bestselling 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, USA Today bestselling 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, USA Today bestselling 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, USA Today bestselling author of Juniper Hill
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, USA Today bestselling 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
