A cautious young woman’s impulsive one-night stand with the man of her dreams—just before moving to Paris—ignites a whirlwind romance of flirtatious emails and transatlantic flights, begging the ultimate question: What if the love of your life comes at the wrong time? Perfect for fans of Tia Williams and Emily Henry!

Claire, an aspiring museum curator, has a coveted fellowship in Paris. It’s taking all the courage she can muster to leave her father and her two best friends to chase her dreams and forge a path beyond her safe, conventional existence in Durham, North Carolina. There is no way she’s letting a guy she just met derail her on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure, even after their mind-blowing night together.

Keith is a workaholic trying to keep his nonprofit afloat in D.C. With little time for anything except work, a whirlwind night with the brilliant and beautiful Claire during his business trip to Durham was not on his agenda. Despite his laser focus on helping his community and pleasing his donors, Keith keeps getting distracted by his growing feelings for her.

Everything screams “wrong place, wrong time!” But fate won’t stop drawing Claire and Keith together, making it harder and harder for each of them to deny their connection. From the lush greenery of Durham to the cobbled streets of Paris to the stately monuments of D.C., Plans We Never Made is a heartwarming, love story of two delightfully driven dreamers who may have found love when they were least expecting it.
