Some people leave their hometown behind. Others spend years trying to recover from it.

In Catch the Wind, bestselling author Katia Rose delivers a steamy sapphic small-town romance filled with old grudges, second chances, emotional vulnerability, and the dangerous possibility that the person you least want to see again might understand you better than anyone else.

For years, the Balsam Inn has been Olivia’s sanctuary. Running the cozy bed-and-breakfast with her best friends gave her a chance to rebuild herself after a painful high school experience shaped by bullying and isolation. The inn represents stability, safety, and the life she fought to create in the small town she never left behind.

Then Marie-Ève Thibodeau walks back into town.

Once the glamorous sidekick to Olivia’s high school tormentor, Marie-Ève disappeared after graduation for a sleek city life that seemed worlds away from their hometown. Now she’s back, out of money, out of options, and applying for the receptionist position at the Balsam Inn.

Olivia wants to hate her on principle alone. Unfortunately, working side by side reveals cracks in the version of Marie-Ève she’s held onto for years. Beneath the polished exterior is a woman carrying regrets, uncertainty, and a vulnerability Olivia never expected to see. As tension slowly gives way to attraction, lingering glances become late-night confessions, stolen touches, and chemistry impossible to ignore.

But some wounds don’t vanish so easily. Marie-Ève still dreams of returning to the city, while Olivia’s roots run deep in the life she’s built at home. Falling in love may mean risking heartbreak all over again.

Warm, emotional, and deliciously romantic, Catch the Wind blends cozy inn charm with sizzling sapphic chemistry and nuanced character growth. Perfect for readers who love enemies-to-lovers romance, queer small-town stories, found family dynamics, and emotionally messy women making questionable but relatable decisions.

The first sparks may be accidental. Falling for each other is the real catastrophe.
