Cal Kane is the youngest of the Dreamland billionaires, a charmer with a wrecking ball history. His grandfather’s will demands he spend one last summer at Lake Wisteria and sell the Kane family home. But Alana Castillo—the girl he loved and lost—is living there, co-owner on the deed, fiercely guarding the only safe place she and her daughter, Cami, have ever known.
What begins as a standoff becomes an uneasy truce: Cal takes the guesthouse, Alana keeps her rules, and Cami keeps everyone honest. While a remodel raises the house’s value, old wounds resurface and old heat refuses to die. Cal’s secret—his inheritance depends on selling—collides with Alana’s secret fear: that he’ll relapse and leave again. Between cupcakes, renovations, and bedtime stories, a broken family finds its shape.
Final Offer is a slow-burn second-chance romance about addiction, accountability, and choosing love with your eyes open. It’s about the house that holds a community, the daughter who calls a broken man “Dad,” and the woman who dares him to become the best version of himself—this time for good.
