Haywire Hearts

Tessa Langford’s stable life shatters the day her husband walks out for his yoga instructor. Left to navigate co-parenting with his new partner, she escapes to her family’s farm in Sweetgum Ridge, hoping the quiet land will help her piece herself back together.

There she meets Evan Carter, the easygoing carpenter restoring the property. His steady presence and practical outlook show her that healing isn’t about forgetting the past but about deciding what she wants to keep and what she’s ready to leave behind.

As Tessa works through the wreckage of her marriage and the demands of shared parenting, Evan’s quiet support helps her see that moving forward is a choice she gets to make for herself.

In the heart of Sweetgum Ridge, Tessa discovers the courage to embrace new possibilities without erasing who she’s been.
