Where We Begin Again The Last Truck Stop, Book 1, (Paperback)

<p><strong>She got in a truck with a stranger. It was the smartest thing she ever did.</strong> </p><p>Emily is twenty, broke, and running from a life that was never hers. Failed out of Princeton. Disowned by her family. Sitting in a truck stop diner at 2 AM with nowhere to go. When the trucker asks "You alright?" she lies: "I'm fine." When he offers her a ride west, she says yes. </p><p>John Callahan is thirty, grieving, and hasn't stopped running since his three-year-old daughter died three years ago. He's a long-haul trucker who knows he shouldn't pick up hitchhikers. Shouldn't care. Shouldn't let anyone in. But there's something about her-the way she's trying so hard to disappear-that reminds him what it feels like to want to exist again. </p><p><strong>The deal is simple: </strong> He drives west. She rides along. No questions, no promises, no feelings. </p><p><strong>The problem is: </strong> Feelings don't follow the rules. </p><p>As miles become days and strangers become everything, they discover that sometimes the most dangerous journey isn't across the country-it's into your own heart. She's learning to choose herself for the first time. He's learning to live again instead of just survive. But when the anniversary of his daughter's death threatens to destroy everything they've built, they'll have to decide: is love worth fighting for? </p><p><em>An emotional contemporary romance about two broken people finding light in the darkness, one mile at a time.</em> </p><p><strong>Book 1 in the </strong><em><strong>Where We Begin Again</strong></em><strong> series</strong>-four interconnected standalone dark romances exploring complex characters who find healing and hope through love during life's most difficult moments.
