The Miles We Almost Lost: A Contemporary Romance

By Avis Lane

She didn't come to the Appalachian Trail to fall in love.
She came to stop running.

Maggie steps onto the Appalachian Trail carrying more than a pack-she's carrying a life that no longer fits. The plan is simple: walk north, stay busy, don't look back. The trail, however, has other ideas.

As the miles accumulate and routines strip life down to its essentials, Maggie finds herself slowing in ways she never expected. Friendships form. Silence settles. And Ben-steady, patient, and impossible to dismiss-challenges the careful distance she's learned to keep from anything that might matter.

Set against the rugged beauty and quiet discipline of a northbound Appalachian Trail hike, The Miles We Almost Lost is a contemporary romance about presence, restraint, and the courage it takes to stay when walking away has always been easier.

This is not a story about conquering the trail.
It's about what happens when the trail removes every place to hide.

A thoughtful, emotionally grounded romance for readers who believe love is built one honest mile at a time.
