About The Author
Jacqueline Sand is a contemporary romance author who believes that storytelling - like love - is one of the most transformative powers in the world. Her work has captured the attention of major platforms, including AP News, Medium, and beyond. As a rising voice in the genre, Jacqueline’s stories are infused with heart, humor, and insights drawn from her own life experiences. When she’s not crafting love stories, she’s soaking up the sun on Portugal’s coastlines and chasing after her two little ones with a cup of matcha in hand.
About the book:
Chasing the Calm follows a sought-after yogi wellness influencer and an emotionally guarded capitalist as they navigate the tangled threads of love, healing, and unexpected connection. Set against the serene backdrop of Tulum, this romance explores the power of vulnerability and the journey to finding peace—in each other and within themselves.
Blurb: Successful yogi and sought-after wellness influencer Yasmine Sepehr has built a life helping others heal - while quietly keeping her own heart locked away. But when a Hollywood production lands her in Beverly Hills, she collides with someone who threatens to shake every boundary she’s ever set: Alex Pierce.
Alex is a high-powered venture capitalist who doesn’t do vulnerability - ever. He’s built his world on control, ambition, and emotional distance. But Yasmine? She’s everything he doesn’t know how to handle: grounded, open, and impossibly authentic. The kind of woman that sees through the armor and touches the parts he thought he’d buried for good.
What begins as a steamy, whirlwind weekend deepens into something raw, tender, and terrifyingly real - until it all falls apart. Now, the only question left is: can fate rewrite the ending they never saw coming?
A second-chance romance about stillness, surrender, and the kind of love that rewrites everything you thought you knew about healing.
