Holding You (The Saxville Sweethearts #3)

Ava Sinclair doesn’t do roots. She does movement—new towns, new adventures, and definitely no strings. Love? Hard pass.

But when her quick pit stop in Saxville turns into a summer that won’t quit, she finds herself tangled up in small-town charm, nosy neighbors, and one maddeningly steady man who kisses like he’s got all day.

Kai Hastings likes his life simple: lakehouse renovations, Friday night barbecues, and no drama.

Then Ava bursts in like a beautiful tornado—wild, funny, impossible to ignore—and suddenly his quiet world looks a whole lot better with her in it. The problem? She’s made a career out of leaving.

He’s made a life out of staying. Between lakeside sunsets, flirty banter, and a chemistry that refuses to cool down, Ava has to decide if she’s ready to stop running and let herself be caught.

Holding You is a small-town, slow-burn romance about second chances, late-night sparks, and falling for the one person who feels like home—even when home terrifies you.
