When We Let Go

When We Let Go is a captivating small-town suspenseful romance by USA Today bestselling author Delancey Stewart, and the first book in the Kings Grove series. It is a story that blends the warmth of community, the thrill of mystery, and the irresistible pull of unexpected love into one deeply satisfying read.

Maddie Turner never imagined she would find herself divorced, living in a trailer, and waitressing in the isolated mountain town where she grew up. But life had other plans. When she crosses paths with Connor Charles, a reclusive and wildly successful horror writer with a dark reputation and secrets the whole town whispers about, she knows she should keep her distance. The police are watching him. The rumor mill is relentless. And yet, the more time she spends with Connor, the more she realizes that the most dangerous thing about him might be how much she is drawn to him.

Delancey Stewart weaves suspense into the fabric of this romance with a deft and confident hand. The small-town setting feels lived-in and real, full of gossip, warmth, and the kind of neighbors who know your business before you do. As Maddie and Connor navigate their growing attraction, buried secrets rise to the surface and both must decide how much they are willing to trust — and how much they are willing to let go — in order to move forward.

What makes When We Let Go so memorable is its perfect balance of humor, heart, and tension. Stewart crafts characters with genuine depth and complexity, and her storytelling draws you in from the very first page. This is a romance for readers who want more than just a love story — they want mystery, emotion, and a community that feels like home. Fans of small-town romance will absolutely love Kings Grove, and will be hungry for the next book before they even finish this one.
