Jacqueline Sand's Breakthrough Romance Novel Chasing the Calm Set to Launch May 23

LISBON, Portugal - April 29, 2025 - PRLog -- Rising author Jacqueline Sand is poised to shake up the world of contemporary romance with the release of her debut novel, Chasing the Calm, on May 23, 2025. Seamlessly blending emotional depth, spiritual healing, sharp humor, and breathtaking romance, Chasing the Calm introduces a bold new voice to the genre.

Chasing the Calm is a fresh take on the modern romance novel — a heartful, funny, and deeply resonant story about rediscovering hope after heartbreak. With a narrative that touches on emotional healing, inner peace, and the messy beauty of falling in love again, Jacqueline Sand is redefining what readers can expect from a love story in 2025.

"This isn't just a love story — it's about the soul work we all face," says Sand. "Chasing the Calm explores the hilarious, painful, and beautiful journey of rebuilding both love and self-worth."

Early readers are already calling Chasing the Calm one of the most original and emotionally rich romance novels of the year, resonating with fans of Colleen Hoover, Emily Henry, and Tessa Bailey — but with a spiritual twist rarely seen in mainstream romantic fiction.

Sand's personal journey of healing through writing has also deeply moved readers. Her Medium article, Writing a Romance Novel Healed Me in All the Ways Therapy Couldn't, and her Substack reflection, Why We Need Fictional Men Like Alex Pierce, have resonated widely. Through raw, honest storytelling, Sand explores how fiction can inspire emotional growth, reshape ideas of love, and offer models of kindness and vulnerability often missing from real-world relationships. Readers have praised her work as "healing," "revolutionary," and "a refreshing reminder that fictional hope can fuel real-world change."
