She left everything behind to chase success. Now she's back—and the man she never forgot is waiting.

Evelyn Harper has it all: a corner office in Manhattan, a partnership at one of the country's most prestigious law firms within reach, and a reputation that opens every door. But when her father's stroke brings her back to Willowbrook—the small Southern town she fled fifteen years ago—everything she thought she wanted begins to unravel.

Waiting for her is Owen Mitchell. The boy she left behind has grown into a man who's built a life of purpose and meaning in the town she couldn't wait to escape. He's never forgotten her. And she's never stopped thinking about him.

As Evelyn navigates between the high-powered career that demands her return and the family that needs her to stay, she's forced to confront a question she's been avoiding her entire adult life: What does success really mean?

With every day in Willowbrook, the life she left behind feels more distant—and the future she never imagined feels more real. But choosing one path means abandoning another. And this time, the stakes are her heart.

Perfect for fans of heartfelt contemporary romance, second-chance love stories, and tales of coming home to yourself.

The Road She Never Took is a beautifully written exploration of love, ambition, and the courage it takes to rewrite your own story. Sometimes the road back is the one that leads you forward.
