Life doesn’t always follow the itinerary.
Mallory had everything mapped out: a carefree summer in Europe, living life on her terms before her first ever nursing job began—no strings, no distractions. She was ready to escape her close-minded, small-town home and conquer the world, one passport stamp at a time.
When a threatening encounter with a dark stranger sends her careening off course, she finds herself lost in an unfamiliar place. Amidst all of the uncertainty, she bumps into Emil.
Steady, kind, and patient, Emil is definitely not part of Mallorys plansbut maybe hes exactly what she doesnt know she needs. Offering everything and asking nothing in return, hes a detour she never expected, but one she might not be able to walk away from.
As Mallory struggles with her past, she now also has to grapple with her future, wondering if this twist of fate is—in fact—exactly what she never knew she wanted?
She has to make a choice:
Stick to the life she’s always intended?
Or risk it all for a love that feels risky, uncertain…but possibly meant to be?
