About this book

A fifty-year-old mystery meets a one-hundred-year storm in a cataclysmic, heart-wrenching clash.

Winona's life has been nothing but storms, and she's an expert at running. But the one person she’ll do anything for is her little brother, River, even if that means recording the next episode of their ghost hunting web series in the decrepit, abandoned, and notoriously haunted Black Magnolia Penitentiary in a small, pastoral town north of Dallas, Texas. He’s determined to prove a dead convict’s innocence after they received an anonymous fan email alleging the decades-old murder wasn’t as it seemed. But when River’s girlfriend gets stranded with car trouble, Winona is left to commune with the dead alone.

Until the Saddle Up Storm Chasers come barrelling down the road to drop off one of their members, and it feels like seeing a ghost. Winona might be good at outrunning storms, but the man whose heart she broke two years ago is an expert at chasing them. Charlie Rosenhoth is on photo duty at the prison, which is smack dab in the middle of a tornado warning. Trapped together, they're forced to share space for the next several hours and pretend like their dead love story isn't rising from the grave. Only, Winona would rather talk to ghosts about a long-forgotten crime than confront their tangled past that Charlie wants to study like the readings on his meteorological equipment.

As the dangerous storm closes in overhead and old secrets resurface as they race against time to prove a dead man innocent, the real risk might not be the ghosts or the weather—but the truths they’ve kept from each other. The spirits aren’t the only ones with unfinished business here, and time is running out for Winona and Charlie to wrap up the loose threads of their shredded past.

Unfinished Business is a spicy, heart-wrenching, second chance romance with a dash of ghosts, murder mystery, and tornadoes, perfect for fans of Twisters, Ghost Adventures, and those who couldn’t put down Nancy Drew as a kid.

TWISTERS meets GHOST HUNTERS in a spicy, Nancy Drew twist

October 31, 2025

One of my top reads of the year!! Is it whacky? Yes. Is it wild? Yes. Is it fun? Hell yeah it is! It's sexy nancy drew meets Twisters meets Ghost Hunters. But in between the rom-com well-timed comedic breaks (hello, the ghosts like to meddle), this author tackles gritty, hard life subjects. We see the main female character, Winona wrestle between long-held insecurity and wounds from a neglectful family. We watch as Charlie, the male main character, confronts his own betrayal about their...

GIVE ME ONE MORE

October 31, 2025

I absolutely devoured this book. The plot already had me intrigued as I love a good ghost hunting moment, but the real hook for me was the tension between the main characters. Winnie had so much depth and nuance to her character. She's beautifully flawed with so much wit that I never got tired of being in her brain. SO many times I laughed out right or felt her pain in my own chest. And then there's Charlie. Charlie \"I'm so f***ing hungry, Winona.\" Rosenhoth. Charlie \"Just give me one...

Angsty second-chance romance with a ghost-hunting theme

November 7, 2025

Thanks to NetGalley and Cara Calloway for the ARC! As always, my opinions are my own. Winona and her brother River have a ghost-hunting podcast that brings her to a long-closed Texas prison, investigating a convicted murderer who may have been innocent and lovers with his alleged victim. Charlie has a storm-chasing channel and gets dropped at the prison by his fellow chasers to photograph an oncoming storm from the guard tower - the highest point around. Winona and Charlie have A Past and a lot...

swoony second chance and a unique story!

February 23, 2026

Unfinished Business by Cara Calloway 4.25/5⭐️ 3/3🌶️ (5ish scenes) 3/3🦋 •My Thoughts• This is the kind of hidden gem that you hope to find when you read new, smaller authors. In just 300 pages, the author gives a second chance redemption story with a ghost mystery that was so swoony and fast paced! This book does two things I generally struggle with really well: dual timeline and a believable second chance break up reason. I often find that I have a hard time with dual timelines but this one...
