Far From Home
(2026)(The third book in the Seddledowne: Finding Home series)
A novel by Callie Mae Shaw
A supermodel who dreams of a family. A firefighter who can stand his. Can she get him to stop running or are they too far from home?
When I was fourteen, I fell in love with Griffin Dupree’s voice.
That’s right. His voice.
While Griffin's famous family starred in reels, he stayed off-camera, teasing and interrogating them.
My friends claimed he was a skinny redhead who didn’t inherit the legendary Dupree-blue eyes.
I didn’t care.
I’m a skinny redhead, too, and that deep, southern drawl was enough to make me fall, sight unseen.
The night a friend said I'd never amount to anything—too poor and too red-headed—I made my List of Dreams. Marrying Griffin was right at the top.
Eight years later, I’ve checked off almost every item, including becoming the Face of DayGlow Cosmetics—a job that isn’t nearly as glamorous as it looks.
The one dream I never conquered?
Griffin Dupree.
But that’s okay. Some fantasies are better left in your imagination. Untouched. Unruined. Because reality has a way of strangling beautiful things—especially the ones you've spent eight years perfecting.
Then I attend The Las Vegas Standard—the country’s biggest modeling convention—and come face to face with a tall, muscular redhead with the most unfairly handsome face I’ve ever seen.
When he speaks…suddenly I’m fourteen again.
It’s him.
We fall fast, just like I knew we would—and for the first time in years, I think I’ve found my freedom.
And because this is Vegas, three days later, I wake up beside him wearing matching wedding rings.
It should feel like the happiest ending imaginable.
But I know the truth: I've just lured the best man I've ever known into the crosshairs of a past that's about to come looking for me.
