Claire likes plans, quiet exits, and problems that can be solved. Andrew is the one person who notices what she needs before she has to ask. What begins on the back porch of a crowded party becomes first kisses, winter hikes, and a prom-night promise to keep choosing each other—even when university puts miles between them.
For Claire, long distance is a logistics problem: calls, train rides, reading weeks, and showing up. But while she is still planning their future, Andrew is already pulling away. One late-summer night on the beach, he ends the relationship she believed they were both still building.
Heartbreak leaves Claire with a choice. She can turn trust into a warning—or take every plan she made for two and begin building a life of her own. Eighteen years later, she has done exactly that. Then a wedding puts Andrew, the best man, back on the calendar.
Tender, nostalgic, and emotionally intimate, The Road Before Love is the no-spice prequel to Claire and Andrew’s Bluewater Cove second-chance romance. Their story continues in The Road Back to Love.
Genre: Romance
