Book Description

Jane Everly thrives in the tranquil embrace of her coastal North Carolina hometown. As the proud owner of a charming pet store, she has woven herself into the vibrant tapestry of the community. Her routine is a symphony of beachside walks, sunrises from her porch, and the comforting presence of her furry friends. Having experienced the profound loss of her spouse at an early age, Jane has embraced contentment, grateful for the love she once found. On the flip side of fate, Hayden Moore's life is a whirlwind on wheels. Maneuvering an eighteen-wheeler across the map, he's accustomed to a nomadic existence, with only his dog and his truck for companionship. Deep-rooted connections are a luxury he can't afford, not when every mile is a paycheck, and every pit stop is a chance to rest his tired eyes. But fate, as it often does, weaves the unexpected. When Jane and Hayden's worlds collide at the crossroads of a small coastal town, their defenses are tested. Jane's close-knit community envelops Hayden, revealing the beauty of human bonds he's never known. As their paths intertwine during a sun-soaked summer, Hayden's focus on work begins to waver as his heart softens. Amid the backdrop of salty breezes and sandy shores, Jane's unwavering faith casts a gentle light on Hayden's life. And Hayden's nightly calls to his ailing mother paint a poignant picture of his devotion beyond the highway's horizon. Can the magic of a beachside community and the power of unwavering faith guide two souls toward a love they never sought? In a summer of serendipity, Jane and Hayden discover that sometimes, the heart knows where the journey truly leads.
