deliyahhhhhhh
Calliope Stikes inherits one thing from her late grandmother: half of an abandoned carnival in rural Georgia.
She arrives with a phone, a black cat named Caydo, and no intention of staying for too long. What she finds instead is a town full of long memories, and a carnival that refuses to stay dead.
The other half belongs to Rory Woods. He's sharp-tongued, territorial, and infuriatingly attractive, with no interest in sharing ownership or space.
When Calliope's plans begin to unravel, Grant Dornes, a charming Daily Grind employee, offers an easy smile and a way to breathe again.
Caught between a past she didn't choose, a future she doesn't trust, and two very interesting men who want very different things from her, Calliope must decide whether the carnival is worth saving, and what it might cost her to stay.
First Stop: Carnival is a story about inheritance, attraction, and the dangerous pull of unfinished places.
