The Road to Us. Across the Lines, #1

Two people. One island. A thousand small chances. When Faye returns to Taiwan after years abroad, she doesn't plan on starting over. She keeps her Taipei life in careful compartments: work, her rooftop garden, and a weekly English class meant to stay strictly practical. What she doesn't expect is David-a part-time teacher whose road-bound work and loyal dog, Steve, keep him constantly moving, and a heart full of unspoken stories.
He doesn't fit into any of her boxes. Yet something about Faye's quiet strength stirs a curiosity he can't ignore. Drawn together by coincidence and held back by hesitation, their friendship deepens into something fragile and undeniable. Yet, between cultural differences, unhealed wounds, and the risk of heartbreak, both must decide if they're willing to take the leap from companions to something more. The Road to Us is a tender, slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance set against the breathtaking backdrop of Taiwan-for readers who believe love is found in the smallest of moments, and in the courage to choose it.
