Perfectly Steady Paperback signed with goodies!

Sometimes love doesn’t rush in — it just shows up, steady and patient, and hopes you’re ready.

Odette wasn’t looking for a family. She certainly wasn’t looking for a man.

Then came the Stratfords.

Hired on as a dietitian for a promising rookie in his first pro motocross season, Odette was just hoping for a new beginning — one that, most importantly, finally put a little distance between her and the parents she’s spent a lifetime unraveling from.

Raised by people too wrapped up in their own wants to truly see her, she’s still learning what it means to be cared for fully, and without question.

Suddenly, she’s surrounded by warmth she doesn’t quite trust, hired by people who believe in her, and growing close to a team that feels suspiciously like home.

And then there’s Mitchell — Orson’s father.

Sweet. Steady. Unexpectedly sincere.

Odette tells herself it’s just a harmless crush. Nothing serious.

He’s married anyway… right?

But as the truth unfolds and boundaries start to blur, Odette is forced to confront what it might mean to be wanted simply for who she is.

Because Mitchell is steady in ways she’s never known.

And terrifying in the same breath.

Because if someone like him stays… what happens to all the reasons she’s carried for why she’s unlovable?

Perfectly Steady is a slow-burn love story about choosing trust over fear, and learning how to love — gently, fully, and at your own pace.
