The Last Train to Prague. The European Train Series, #5

Travel writer Clara Vale boards a train to Prague expecting to finish the final chapter of her book on Europe's railways, not meet the one man who will change the way she sees the city and herself. Railway engineer Matthias Novak has spent years building systems people rely on while keeping his own life tightly controlled. Clara has spent years turning movement into freedom, even when it was really a way to avoid staying anywhere long enough to be changed.
As winter settles over Prague, what begins as a conversation on a night train deepens into something neither of them can dismiss. But when a prestigious new rail initiative pulls Matthias toward the life he has always known, and Clara's instinct is to leave before feeling can become risk, both must decide whether they will retreat into old patterns or make room for something lasting. Set against quiet stations, dark river bridges, and the hidden architecture of a city built to endure, The Last Train to Prague is a sophisticated contemporary romance about restraint, longing, and the courage to stop mistaking motion for freedom.
