Wide Open Valley: A Sapphic Sacred Peaks Collection (Sacred Peaks Ranch)

Seven stories. One valley. Many kinds of love.

A farmers market courtship hiding in plain sight for three years. A fire station at three a.m., after the call that won't leave. A mother who forgot she was more than that. Two women who've loved each other for twenty years and can still surprise each other. And a woman standing alone in a meadow, deciding to begin.

Wide Open Valley is a collection of seven stories set in and around Sacred Peaks Ranch, a Colorado wellness retreat where women find love, found family, and themselves. Each story stands alone. Together, they build a world.

These stories are steamy, tender, and grounded in the kind of emotional truth that stays with you after the last page. They feature women who carry whole cultures, histories, and lives inside them, and they believe that the best love stories happen when people see each other completely.

Some characters you know. Some you've never met. All of them will stay with you.

A woman who has spent her life feeding everyone else discovers that someone has been feeding her heart for three years, one bag of free chipotles at a time.

A single mother arrives at a Colorado retreat unable to sit still for five minutes, and meets a woman who is doing nothing with aggressive commitment.

On a Hopi mesa four hundred miles from the ranch, a woman who has spent her whole career behind institutional armor comes home and lets someone see what the work costs.

Two first responders who have been orbiting each other for two years stop pretending.

A couple (June & Stevie) drives to Denver to face the family one of them left behind. Bring tissues.

And in 1999, long before the retreat existed, a young wife (Naveah) discovers that love comes in forms she never expected.

The collection closes at dawn, in a meadow, with someone arriving at the beginning of herself.
