"I laughed, cried and cheered for all the characters. It's a highly entertaining, heartwarming, easy to pick up and hard to put down read." Jacqueline.

Starting Over is the second standalone story in the Jackson’s Bridge Series, a closed-door, romantic small-town saga set in the Colorado Rockies.

Callie Winters thought starting over in a remote mountain town would be simple—a slower pace, a meaningful job, and a chance to build something real. But when she’s thrust into a leadership role she never expected—and drawn into helping a teenage girl with a secret—Callie is forced to choose between the integrity that has always kept her world steady and the promise of a life and love she thought had passed her by.

Dave Woods has dedicated his life to protecting his community and the people who depend on it. But when his mother is forced out of the family business, and the foster boy who sees him as a father figure risks losing his home, Dave is confronted with what he’s been avoiding—the fear that his place in the family he treasures was accidental, and that he’s living a life meant for someone else.

As they learn they don’t need to face everything alone, Callie and Dave discover what they should have known all along—that love, loyalty, and belonging aren’t fragile things. They grow stronger when you have the courage to claim your place, even when it''s hard.

The Jackson’s Bridge Series is a closed-door romantic small-town saga set in the contemporary Colorado Rockies, where rugged landscapes, changing seasons, and a close-knit community shape lives, relationships, and second chances.

If you love heartwarming, emotionally rich stories where people show up for each other, community matters, and romance grows steadily over time—then welcome to Jackson’s Bridge.

"This is a heartwarming addition to the Jackson's Bridge series. While Starting Over can be read as a standalone you'll want to read Letting Go first. Angela writes such moving stories, you won't want to miss how it all began." Bonnie

"This is a journey about healing, midlife crisis, and finding strength in family and friends. It’s a heartfelt romance that touched me on so many levels." Jackie
