She’s too scared to hike. He’s terrible at it. Together, they just might find love.

Desmond’s hiking gear might be brand new, but his instincts? Totally off-trail.

Lila’s camera might capture every detail of life at Honey Ridge Coffee, but her hiking boots are still in their box.

When these two unlikely adventurers team up for a series of beginner hikes, chaos and hilarity ensue. Along the way, they find breathtaking views, self-confidence, and a love they never saw coming.  

Tropes: coffee shop meet-cute, friends to lovers, adorkable hero, fish out of water, small town, opposites attract.

Some trails lead to healing. Others lead to love. Some lead to both.

Hannah thought she’d lost herself somewhere along the way—between the gaslighting ex who dimmed her spark and the silent nights in her empty apartment. But when a chance flyer for a local hiking group lands on her table, she decides to take one small, brave step forward.

On the trails of Asheville’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Hannah finds more than breathtaking views. There’s camaraderie in the hiking club, and in Evan, the group’s charismatic guide, she discovers someone who sees her potential even when she doubts herself. As their connection grows, Hannah must face her deepest fears and find the courage to rewrite her story—and her heart’s path—on her own terms.

Will Hannah risk opening her heart again, or will the shadows of her past keep her from embracing the life she truly deserves?
