The journey to love is full of surprises.
When Amy Brookfield agrees to join Mack Johnson on a drive to Cheyenne to meet his parents, she expects six uneventful hours on the highway. Instead, she experiences several detours that change everything.
Each stop brings more laughter, more sweetness—and the realization that Mack is more than the steady fishing shop owner everyone in Cottonwood thinks they know. Beneath his calm exterior, he carries a past he’s never fully shared, a truth that could test Amy’s fragile trust.
When a quiet mountain lake reveals more than just autumn reflections, Amy must decide if she’s ready to risk her heart again. Is love worth the bumps and detours, or is it safer to walk away?
Full of quirky roadside adventures, golden aspen backdrops, and heartwarming romance, The Sweet Side of Road Trips is a later-in-life short story about trust, second chances, and discovering that the journey matters more than the destination.
