She was his second chance. He was her first everything.
CHARLIETwenty-two years old, fresh out of college, and living in my childhood bedroom—not exactly what I planned. Everyone expects me to know what I'm doing with my life, but that’s hard to do when you grow up under the microscope of a small town with three overprotective big brothers. Except when I crash into Kai Callaghan on Main Street, suddenly I know exactly what I want, and it has nothing to do with the secret manuscript I’ve written. Everyone in town thinks he's broken, damaged by a past he rarely speaks about. But I see the truth—a man worth fighting for, even if we have to keep our relationship a secret.
KAI
The last thing I need is to fall for Charlie Everton. She's ten years younger, the cherished baby of the Everton family, and far too innocent for a man with my past. But there's something about her quiet strength that calls to the darkness in me, making me believe in second chances. When she hands me her manuscript, trusting me with her words, her dreams, her heart—I'm lost. Now, with grief threatening to send me running and her brother spiraling into the same addiction that once consumed me, I have to decide: do I run from the only good thing in my life, or stay and fight for a love I don't deserve?
The Sable Point series is known for small town open-door romance, strong language, and just the right amount of angst. Unearthed Dreams delivers a full HEA with no major cliffhangers, though a few series-spanning threads continue. It reads fine as a standalone—but if you want the full emotional gut punch, start with Reclaimed Roots and Cherished Lands.
