Say you've packed for a simple work trip to Las Vegas.
A cake convention. A few days away and a chance to reset after a very public and painful breakup.
What you don't expect is for everything - your plans, your future, even the world itself - to take a sharp detour and crumble right before your eyes.
Still healing from a broken engagement, Charlotte never expects a chance encounter with Jax, a charming stranger who sees through her carefully built walls. Their connection was unexpected, easy... and brief until the world changed overnight.
When 9/11 grounds every flight, Charlotte finds herself stranded and facing a long drive home with her boss... and Jax, the man she can't stop thinking about. As miles stretch across desert highways and quiet roadside motels, guarded hearts begin to open. Laughter slips in where heartbreak once lived. And against all odds, love finds its way in.
But when Charlotte dares to believe in love again, one devastating truth tears them apart.
A year later, a long-kept secret brings their story full circle. This time, love will demand forgiveness, courage, and a leap of faith neither of them saw coming.
Set against the emotional backdrop of a world forever changed, Take Me Home is a sweet and playful, heartfelt romance about love born in chaos, second chances, unexpected detours, and finding love where you least expect it. Take Me Home is a forced-proximity road trip, a small-town heart, and a chance at love in the aftermath of 9/11 - perfect for fans of contemporary romance, slow-burn romance, and finding love again.
Sometimes, the road home has a few surprises along the way.
Good to know:
The dialogue in this story is intentionally raw and region-specific. The humor is sharp. The friendships are loud. It's love, South Jersey-style.
