    Letting Go
    by Cari Lynn Webb, Angela Day

    When the past is broken and the future is uncertain, it's time to finally let go.

    For seventeen years, pharmaceutical chemist Callie Winters has built a secure life for her son in San Francisco, burying the trauma of their past. But when a corporate upheaval forces her to Jackson's Bridge---a remote mountain town nestled beneath the Colorado Rockies---her tightly controlled world quickly begins to unravel.

    Tasked with persuading a botanical cooperative to license their breakthrough product, Callie finds herself drawn into the rhythms of the tight-knit community, and the life of Dave Woods---a man who makes her feel safe even though her world is falling apart. As the scent of raspberry and lavender drifts across the fields of his family's herb farm, and the charm of Jackson's Bridge takes hold, Callie glimpses a future she once hoped could be hers.

    But just as her heart is unlocked and her dreams rekindled, her son discovers secret letters holding the truth about his father's death and the people who once tore their family apart. As she races against time to save him from the truth, Callie must choose again---fight to preserve the life she built, or risk everything on the promise of starting over.

    A heartwarming, emotional standalone story about family, secrets, community, and new beginnings.
    Perfect for fans of clean romantic fiction, resilient small-town characters, and the wild beauty of Colorado---where snowcapped mountains give way to fragrant herb farms and sprawling ranches, and historic main streets carry the weight of old secrets and the hope of new beginnings.



    Cari Lynn Webb's Bio

    A non-stop flight from Honolulu to Chicago. A quick stop at the airport bookstore and Cari Lynn Webb discovered her love for romance. She cannot recall the book she bought, but she does remember finishing it somewhere over California, feeling pleased the murderer had been arrested (justice had prevailed). But frustration reigned as Cari searched for a hidden chapter or missed epilogue that would show the heroine and the FBI agent she'd fallen in love with living their happily-ever-after. (Surely love conquered all.) Except not in that particular book. Another trip to the bookstore in her grandparents' home town and Cari discovered an entire section of books dedicated to the happily-ever-after. There she found Kathleen Woodiwiss, Judith McNaught and then Nora Robert ... and she became a life-long romance reader. Cari's passion for reading had not dimmed years later when she found herself newly married and inside another bookstore during her lunch break. But the shelves of happily-ever-afters surrounding her couldn't stem her frustration at not being able to find a new historical romance (Amazon wasn't the household name it would become). So like any dedicated reader, Cari drove back to work, opened a word document and began to write the historical she wanted to read. Months later, she printed the manuscript, presented it to her husband and asked if she should pursue acting or continue writing. With her husband's full support, she continued writing... and now she feeds her passion for romance with a stack of to-be read paperbacks in her nightstand, multiple downloads on her kindle and her own stories. Cari believes in the power of love simply because she'd grown up surrounded by true love. She remembers her grandparents holding hands when she visited them as a kindergartner and still holding hands when her grandmother whispered her final goodbyes to her grandfather after 70 years together. Cari's parents have been married over 50 years. And Cari is blessed to have married her own hero. She will be the first to tell you that true love isn't always sweet and perfect, it can be challenging, complicated and risky. But in the end, there is nothing more worth fighting for.
