A forgotten map. A small-town dare. A road trip that will change everything.
For thrill-seeking Jade Carter, "reckless" is a badge of honor-and a shield. Haunted by a long list of regrets and a reputation she can't outrun, she believes her only salvation lies at the end of a long, empty highway. Adventure is her penance, and she has always traveled alone.
Logan Hayes has his life planned out down to the last detail. As a beloved history teacher in the town he's never left, his world is a collection of reliable routines and postcards from places he's too afraid to visit. He's a ship safe in the harbor, slowly suffocating from the lack of a tide.
One fateful night, a dusty treasure map left behind by Jade's long-lost father and a challenge in a local bar throws them into the front seat of a beat-up Jeep. The deal: one spontaneous summer road trip across the American heartland to find a mysterious treasure. Jade sees a chance to prove her wild streak can lead to something real. Logan, desperate to escape the "predictable" label that haunts him, sees his one shot at an adventure he can't plan away.
But with every mile, the lines between them blur. Witty banter turns into late-night confessions. Forced proximity in a one-bed motel room during a thunderstorm sparks a slow-burn tension that threatens to ignite. And as they chase clues left by a ghost from Jade's past, they discover they're not just being followed by their own fears, but by a dangerous rival who believes the map is his by right-and will do anything to get it back.
On a journey where every stop chips away at their defenses, Jade's terror of being a destructive storm collides with Logan's fear that he's not brave enough to face one. The real treasure was never gold or jewels. It's the terrifying, exhilarating choice to trust another soul with your most broken pieces.
Can two lost people find their way home when the only map that matters is the one between their hearts?
The Map Between Us is a steamy, standalone road trip romance packed with adventure, suspense, and raw emotional depth. Perfect for fans of witty banter, found family, and a happily ever after that is truly earned.
