What the Heart Wants
From the #1 bestselling author of the beloved Calendar Girl books comes the first in a witty, wise and emotionally compelling new series, where coming home is just the beginning…
“Fly free.”
For ten years those words, written on pink parchment paper in her mother’s beautiful handwriting, have been Suda Kaye Ross’s guiding star. Every year on her birthday, Suda Kaye opens another of the letters her mother penned before she passed, heeding the advice inside as she fills her life with experiences. From Italy to Australia, from Rio to Russia, she’s slaked her wanderlust. And then, on her twenty-eighth birthday, she opens the letter that sends her home.
Returning to Colorado means confronting everything—and everyone—she left behind, including her cherished sister, Evie, and her first love, Camden Bryant. Suda Kaye and Cam spent four years and one unforgettable night together. Given the way she ran out on him, it’s no surprise that he’s wary, resentful…and engaged to someone else. Evie, hardworking and überresponsible, just wants her sister to put down roots at last.
For Evie’s sake, and her own, Suda Kaye is trying to build a new life, all the while wondering whether it’s too late to come back home—or if the most important part of her never really left.

Suda Kaye finds herself headed home for the first time in ten years. After reading a letter from her deceased mother at 18, she fled to explore the world. Once again her mom is giving her direction. But more than that she thinks she is ready, home feels like the right place to be right now. She just needs to convince her sister, who is a little skeptical. Sure she wants life to go back to normal but can she trust Suda Kaye will stay. What other demons will she encounter on the way.
Camden has tried to move on with his life since she left him ten years ago, but there are just too many unanswered questions. Deep feelings that keep clouding others. When surprised by her return, his anger takes hold and he tries hard to just stay away. But they have always had a draw to one another. Will he let her back in, or push her away out of fear?
Can Suka Kaye convince her family and friends she is here to stay. Will the roots be enough to keep her in Colorado?
