The Missed Connection (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

For Molly, a painfully pragmatic archivist, life is measured in carefully sorted files and meticulously avoided risks. Her trip to the dullest conference on earth was a perfect example: efficient, uneventful, and utterly predictable. Until she falls asleep on the redeye home.

She wakes not to the jarring beep of the seatbelt sign, but to the soft linen and subtle scent of cedar on the shoulder of the man beside her. Worse, the plane is dark, empty, and parked at a remote gate. And the handsome, sleeping stranger whose shoulder she's been using as a pillow is now awake, offering a wry, unoffended smile.

His name is Joseph. He's charming, effortlessly kind, and disarmingly attractive. He's also the reason she's just missed her stop by three hundred miles.

Horrified and apologetic, Molly scrambles for solutions, but every option is a nightmare of costly last-minute tickets and bureaucratic hell. To her utter astonishment, Joseph offers a solution that is both insane and incredibly generous: he's driving right through her city. He'll take her home.

What's a nine-hour road trip with a perfect stranger?

Thus begins an unlikely journey for two opposites. Molly, whose life is governed by caution and control, finds herself in a car with a man who seems to glide through life on spontaneity and open-ended questions. Joseph, a freelance photographer between assignments, is a professional observer of the world, and he's now fascinated by the tightly-curated one Molly has built for herself.

As they travel down endless highways, fueled by bad coffee and roadside diner food, the forced proximity breaks down their walls. They share stories, secrets, and a simmering chemistry that threatens to derail the trip entirely. Molly discovers the deep empathy behind Joseph's easygoing nature, while Joseph is drawn to the hidden warmth and sharp wit Molly guards so fiercely.

But this is no simple rom-com detour. Joseph is running from a fractured family and a past failure he can't outdrive. And Molly is returning to a "perfect" life she built for the wrong reasons, including a stable, loveless relationship with Peter, a man who values punctuality over passion.

When a sudden family emergency forces Molly to rely on Joseph in a moment of raw vulnerability, their connection deepens into something profound and real. He isn't just her ride home; he's becoming her shelter.

Waiting for Molly is her mother, Joyce, a sharp-eyed realist who sees the change in her daughter the moment she steps out of a stranger's car. Joyce knows the safe path Molly is on, and she recognizes the earthquake that is Joseph.

Molly now faces an impossible choice between the safe, predictable future she planned with Peter, and the exhilarating, uncertain possibility of a life with Joseph. But is this magnetic pull real, or just a beautiful anomaly born of a missed flight and a shared adventure? To find out, the woman who never makes a mistake will have to take the biggest risk of her life, learning that sometimes the wrong turn can lead you exactly where you were always meant to be.

The Missed Connection is a heartfelt and witty novel about the journeys we don't plan, the people we meet by accident, and the courage it takes to let go of the map and follow our hearts instead.
