Surrender Sweetheart

Cassie Barnes has always been the capable one. The fixer. The daughter everyone depends on. And the one her family insists belongs back home, managing a farm that was never her dream. So, she runs. When Cassie lands in Jasmine Hollow, she doesn't expect to collide with three men who turn everything she knows upside down. Sam Thompson is steady and strong, carrying the quiet burden of a farm on the brink of ruin. His best friend, Boone Riley, believes every problem has a solution—until feelings complicate everything. And Garrett Williams, the stranger in town, is searching for redemption, family, and a place he finally fits. Cassie has always looked confident on the outside. But letting go has never come easily—and pleasure has always felt just out of reach. What begins as undeniable chemistry turns into something deeper. Riskier. Something that threatens the small life she's shrunk herself to fit inside. Because for the first time, Cassie isn't simply needed. She's wanted. Seen. Chosen. But when old fears resurface and duty calls her back, Cassie must choose between the life that asks too much of her, and the men who want her happiness as fiercely as they want her heart. Surrender Sweetheart is a steamy, emotional why-choose romance about surrendering control, choosing yourself, and discovering that home isn't where you're needed—it's where you're finally free to let go.
