They lost touch. They lost time. Yet the sparks never died.
Anna has spent years being careful. As an ER nurse, a single mother, and the steady center of her family’s world, responsibility has always come first. Spontaneity, romance, and risk were quietly packed away until an unexpected airport reunion with Tristan Graham changes everything.

Tristan is familiar and entirely different: her late best friend’s brother, a winery owner with a quiet heart, and a habit of complicating things Anna swore she’d outgrown. When a delayed flight turns into a cross-province road trip through small towns, mountain passes, and ferry decks swept by ocean wind, something long-dormant begins to stir.

Between laughter, late-night conversations, and moments that hover just shy of too much, Anna is forced to ask herself a dangerous question: What if careful isn’t the same as happy?

Highways and Heartbeats is a tender, witty, slow-burn romance about second chances, choosing yourself, and discovering that sometimes the most meaningful journeys aren’t about where you’re going but who you’re brave enough to take with you.
