Where We Found Our Way Home
(2026)(The eighth book in the Where Love Leads series)
A novel by Rebecca Catherine
Kennedy and Eli have already found their way to each other. Now they have to learn how to keep growing without growing apart.
For the first time in a long time, life feels good.
Kennedy has a nursing career ahead of her, a wedding to plan, a dojo filled with people she loves, and a fiancé who has become the safest, steadiest part of her world. Eli is back in the Army National Guard Reserve, reconnecting with a part of himself he thought he'd left behind.
They’re building the future they fought so hard to reach.
Then summer arrives—and with it, the reality of Eli’s decision.
Drill weekends are one thing. Two weeks of annual training are another.
Eli has spent years leaving home without looking back. He knows how to pack a duffel, put on the uniform, and do his job. What he doesn't expect is how much it hurts to drive away from Kennedy. Or how quickly the life waiting for him at home begins competing with the sense of purpose and brotherhood he's rediscovering in the Guard.
Kennedy is determined to support the man she loves, even when loving him means letting him go sometimes. But while Eli is away, one of her closest friends begins acting strangely—and his sudden interest in the past brushes dangerously close to questions Kennedy stopped asking years ago.
And about whether some doors are better left closed.
As one summer brings unexpected distance, old wounds, and choices neither of them saw coming, Kennedy and Eli discover that growing together doesn't mean always moving in the same direction at the same time.
Sometimes it means giving each other room to change.
Sometimes it means trusting that distance won't undo what you've built.
And sometimes finding your way home means realizing that love isn't about holding someone in place.
It's about growing—separately, together, and always toward each other.
Where We Found Our Way Home is a heartfelt clean age-gap romance about a first love becoming ever-lasting love, navigating military life, making peace with the past, and discovering that happily-ever-after isn't the end of growing up—it's learning how to grow together.
Genre: Romance
