Reserves by H.G. Hedger

Reserves Blurb (Release Date: August 13th 2025)
When her father’s final wish becomes her greatest challenge, one woman must risk everything to uncover a world-changing secret.
Grace Walker Holden thought she had life figured out—until a deathbed promise shattered everything. Called back to her Oklahoma hometown to care for her dying father, Grace inherits more than just grief: a mysterious device, cryptic notes, and a chilling warning that could cost her everything.
After her husband walks out and a powerful energy conglomerate starts closing in, Grace is pulled into a dangerous game of cat and mouse. The deeper she digs into her father’s invention, the more ruthless her enemies become. From sabotage to threats against her family, Caligula Energy will stop at nothing to claim what her father left behind.
With the help of her first love, her fiercely loyal family, and a strength she never knew she had, Grace must unravel the truth before it’s too late. But as powerful forces close in, she faces an impossible question: can she save her father’s legacy—and the world—without losing the people she loves most?
This is a spotlight on “Reserves” by H.G. Hedger
Inspiration to write Reserves…
Before I knew her name, my protagonist whispered to me. She peeked around corners, slipped into grocery lines, and entered my dreams. Reserves is the story of an ordinary woman thrust into extraordinary circumstances. Like so many women asked to do more with already full plates, Grace rises to the occasion, discovering strength and courage she never knew she had.
This novel is where imagination and curiosity meet. What if innovations in modern medicine could be used not just to heal people, but to help the planet?
H.G. Hedger’s favourite scene from Reserves…
Grace was fumbling with her car keys in the hospital’s underground parking structure when a bulwark of a man stepped in front of her, blocking the security camera. “I’m not here to hurt you.” The deep voice stopped her from doing what her body implored her to do–run. “Consider me a private process server, Graceland Walker Holden. Only you will not get a written missive, so listen closely.” His titanic body coiled with a forbidding menace. His hands were enormous anchors soldered to bulging arms. Grace gripped her key like a makeshift weapon and willed herself to remain calm, committing every feature to memory.
