Final Offer

Final Offer is a second-chance romance about Callahan Kane, the reckless youngest Dreamland billionaire, and Alana Castillo, the childhood best friend he loved, abandoned, and never truly stopped wanting. When Cal returns to Lake Wisteria to sell his grandfather’s house, he expects paperwork, resentment, and a quick escape. Instead, he finds Alana living there with her daughter, Cami, and discovers that the home is tied to both his inheritance and her heart.

As forced proximity turns old wounds into new temptation, Cal must confront his addiction, his family trauma, and the lie he has kept about why he needs to sell the house. Alana must decide whether loving him again is bravery or self-destruction. Their story blends angst, humor, healing, family, and a romance contract built on trust earned the hard way.
