Patricia Yager Delagrange

The most important part of my life has always been my family, both the one I was born into and the one formed by my marriage. My father was an Oakland firefighter for thirty-five years while my mother stayed home to care for their six daughters. With five sisters, it was quite the challenge getting five strong women in one household to agree about almost anything. Therefore, it should be no surprise that the theme of all my women’s fiction novels is relationships, whether between sisters, moms and daughters, or the families of the daughters. I weave tales of men and women and their loved ones, sprinkling my books with intriguing characters who struggle to find balance in life. Whether an unwed teenager, desperate widow, abandoned father, disconnected sisters, or a troubled couple, my characters form relationships impacted by their desire to create a cohesive family. To-date, I have nine published novels and am at work on my tenth.

As Lexie slowly learns to believe she’s worth loving, Payton is fighting her own battle, and a search neither sister expected leads to a discovery that will redefine what family even means to both of them.

NEW REALEASE

WHAT FOLLOWS NOW

Turbulence brought them together… love made it permanent.

Sage Thompson is flying home to Alameda with a broken heart and a fresh start in mind—until severe turbulence throws her, quite literally, into the arms of Cashton Everly: a runaway restaurant heir trading his father’s empire for a paintbrush and a chance to live life on his own terms.

Coming home means reconnecting with the family she’s neglected for years—and facing news that threatens to break what’s left of her heart: her mother is dying.

As Sage steps into the hardest season of her life, Cashton becomes the steady, unexpected presence she didn’t know she needed. Their connection deepens through hospital waiting rooms, gallery openings, and quiet nights that turn into something neither of them planned.
