Elise Walker is pretty sure she’ll still be living in her hometown fifty years from now. Sometimes it feels like the walls are closing in on her, but she’s okay with it. Mostly. When her best friend gets her dream job in a different city, Elise supports her, but it hurts seeing someone else achieving her dreams while she’s stuck in Eastport. And then she meets Caroline Monroe, who changes everything.

Caroline is too busy for love. New to Eastport, her only focus is proving she deserved her latest promotion. What little free time she has is dedicated to her water-obsessed dog, Moose. When Moose gets away from Caroline at a trail, Elise finds and reunites them. Caroline is instantly drawn to Elise, who seems genuine and compassionate.

It doesn’t even faze Caroline when she finds out that she’s Elise’s boss. Friendship between a boss and employee is a little unusual, but there aren’t any rules against it. Besides, they’re just hiking and sharing dinners together. It’s not like she’s going to fall in love. That would be ridiculous.

The Path to You is a workplace, age-gap, slow burn, contemporary sapphic romance about embracing change and finding love where you least expect it.
