The Awakening is scheduled for release on April 1, 2025!

Some moments can define us forever…

Tarah Tate has spent her life building walls. At only seventeen, her entire world was shattered when her younger brother was killed in a senseless act of violence, and betrayals from her first love and closest friends only further reinforced her emotional withdrawal and distrust. Tarah made a choice—never again!

Sometimes, healing begins in the unlikeliest of places…

Almost forty years later, Tarah is a successful businesswoman trapped in a toxic work environment when fate intervenes. A corporate retreat takes her to a luxurious dude ranch in Montana where she comes face-to-face with Lucas Marx—her team’s activities guide and a ruggedly handsome, mysterious, and charming ex-Navy SEAL who carries his own scars and secrets. For the first time in decades, other than the unconditional love she has for her parents and her twelve-year-old Yorkie, Scooby, Tarah feels something unfamiliar—a profound connection.

Amidst team-building activities and stolen moments, their bond deepens. Drawn to each other in ways neither can explain, Lucas sees past the fortress Tarah has built around herself, challenging everything she thought she knew about love, trust, and vulnerability. But with a past shrouded in danger and secrecy, that could upend her world, is Tarah ready to confront her fears and finally let someone like Lucas into her carefully guarded heart?

Some secrets heal. Others destroy…

As Tarah and Lucas embark on a journey of passion, trust, and self-discovery, their growing relationship is suddenly tested by deception and fear when Lucas’s shadowy past and high-stakes career collide with Tarah’s quest for stability. Together, they must navigate a minefield of truths and misconceptions while confronting the traumas that have shaped their lives—where forgiveness and understanding are the keys to a future they both crave.

Some wounds will never heal… unless we let them.

In this stirring tale of loss, resilience, and unexpected love, Tarah embarks on a transformative journey that could finally awaken the part of her she thought was gone forever. But will she have the courage to let Lucas in, or will the scars of her past keep her from embracing the happiness she truly deserves?

Fans of heartfelt, character-driven stories with a strong female lead will be captivated by The Awakening—a testament to healing, trust, and the power of second chances.
