Chasing After More - by Elle F Sun (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

"An emotional and endearing start to the Aberdeen Ranch series that gives readers a glimpse into what it's like to navigate things such as empathy and grief amidst life itself. With characters from all stages of life, there is a realness within this book that will make you laugh, cry, and feel seen."

Delia Fairchild is no stranger to letting her feelings guide her choices, and that's exactly how she ends up in Wyoming for the summer, working for the Aberdeen family and living on their ranch. She's hopeful this change will help her understand why she's had this longing for more out of life. But, of course, it's never that simple, and her trip of self-discovery is derailed when she meets her boss' brooding younger brother.

Griffin Aberdeen has pushed everyone away-except for his grandmother, sister, and niece. The few friends he does have, know not to talk about the losses that led him to shut off his emotions and close off his heart. But that's all jeopardized when he meets Delia, who seems to see right through his tough exterior. And he'll do anything to make sure she can't get close enough to see all the cracks.

As Delia's empathy clashes with Griffin's grief, they're left wondering why their paths crossed. Could they help each other in ways they never planned for?
