The Unwritten Plan

By Ethan Ross

Maya Reynolds believes in plans, data, and ruthless efficiency. Her life in the city is perfectly structured, a fortress of control built a decade ago after a devastating, unplanned heartbreak in her small hometown of Willow Creek. She needs a quiet vacation at her parents' lake cabin to decompress. What she gets is a logistical nightmare and a face-to-face encounter with the one man who knows exactly how fragile her fortress truly is.

Ethan Cole, now a successful structural engineer, has built a solid, authentic life back home. He's rooted, reliable, and still haunted by the memory of the girl he left crying in the rain years ago. When fate (and a mistaken suitcase) throws Maya back into his path at the airport, the past and present collide with an undeniable spark.

Forced to collaborate on a local house renovation project, the "consultant" and the "engineer" must navigate messy emotional entanglements, shared history, and the building tension of a love that never truly died. As they build a new life together, piece by piece, they discover that the best foundations are built on second chances, messy variables, and the beautiful, unpredictable promise of a life that was never in the original blueprint.

A second chance romance about returning home, embracing the unplanned, and finding that forever kind of love.
