Sometimes the finish line is only the beginning.
When Jackson sets out on an 865-mile run from Richmond to Orlando, he’s not only collecting miles—he’s chasing answers. Why was he spared when so many of his brothers-in-arms didn’t make it home? And what’s he supposed to do with a second chance he never asked for?
Each mile strips away the layers he’s hidden behind, allowing dangerous memories to rise to the surface. His body is breaking down, his mind is unraveling, and the destination feels farther away every day.
At his breaking point, his path crosses with Emily's. Free-spirited and impossible to ignore, she’s not part of his plan—but somehow, she becomes an inseparable part of his journey. With each step they take together, the weight of his pain seems easier to bear. For the first time since his discharge, he’s no longer just existing—he’s truly living and beginning to believe in hope again.
As Jackson pushes closer to his ultimate goal, he begins to uncover the layers of Emily’s hidden past. Suddenly, the finish line he’s been running toward marks the start of something entirely new, changing everything he thought he knew about love, trust, and his future path.
Jackson's story began in A JOURNEY SPARED (book 1) and concludes in A JOURNEY HOME (book 3).
The JOURNEY SERIES trilogy is a heartwarming fade-to-black contemporary romance about a veteran rising out of darkness after losing almost everything he holds dear. The journey is hard. There will be hardships, pain, heartbreak, and raw emotions (content warning: some coarse language, casual drinking, suicide of a loved one (off page), sick parent, loss of a parent, PTSD, loss/grief, verbal abuse, rape (off page), and violence). Nothing is graphic, and there is plenty of inspiration, hope, sweetness, perseverance, friendships, unbreakable bonds, and unconditional love to overcome anything.
