The Way Back - Courtney Guthrie

A second-chance romance with a heartbeat of suspense and the quiet bravery of starting over.

The Way Back is a novel about memory, survival, and the slow, unglamorous courage of healing.

Alexandria Morgan has spent the last decade building a life she can control. She manages hospital operations while holding herself together with well-structured routines and a coffee habit that borders on clinical. Love? She closed that door a long time ago.

Then Barrett Jones walks back into her life, wearing her coffee.

Now back in town, Barrett isn’t just a reminder of what they lost. He’s a spark of something Alexandria thought she’d buried for good. But as old feelings resurface, so do old fears, especially when shadows from her past begin creeping in.

Caught between the hurt she survived and a future she isn’t sure she can trust, Alexandria must decide if love is worth the risk, and if the way back might just be the way forward.
