The Road That Kept Our Footsteps
Della Venn measures mountains so other people can find their way home. She is thirty-three, exact, and finished with men who vanish for the work and call it care. When a milestone stands twice on a thinning pass, her survey collides with Orven Aran, the fae courier she left—and the undeliverable medicine on his back. The road itself has been storing every journey travelers refused to finish. Extra branches split the stone. Towns lose their winter line. A painted shortcut would make the map look whole and starve the living. To restore the pass, Della and Orven must walk as colleagues with rules, ask settlements for consent, and risk a second chance that only named plans and costly staying can hold. A complete romantic fantasy of craft, danger, dry humor, and devotion proven in daylight—not by fate, but by the footsteps they finally keep. Free sample available.
