Josette Wilde has always been a hopeless romantic, daydreaming of grand gestures and meet-cutes worthy of a rom-com. But reality had other plans. When the man she thought was her forever walked out upon learning she was pregnant, Jo was left to navigate the ups and downs of single motherhood. For years, her spirited daughter, Hannah, has been her whole world. Jo has worked tirelessly to create a stable life for them both, putting her own dreams of love and happiness on hold. Just when she thinks her luck might be turning—a promising new job offering a fresh start—disaster strikes. An accident leaves her home uninhabitable, and suddenly, she's left with nowhere to go.
Out of options and desperate for help, Jo gets help from the person she least expected: Mitchell Harris, her childhood friend. Mitchell, charming and steadfast, opens his home to Jo and Hannah without hesitation. Grateful yet unsettled, Jo can't ignore the feelings she's kept buried for years. She's had a secret crush on Mitchell for as long as she can remember, but he's always seemed oblivious. As the three of them fall into a new rhythm under one roof, the lines of friendship begin to blur. For the first time in forever, Jo starts to wonder if her real-life love story has been right in front of her all along.
But just as Jo begins to imagine a future with Mitchell, her past comes knocking. Hannah's father reappears out of the blue, insisting he's ready to be the family man he wasn't before. His sudden return throws Jo's carefully rebuilt world into chaos, forcing her to confront the dreams she once clung to and the woman she's become since.
Now, Jo must make an impossible choice: Does she give her first love—and her daughter's father—a second chance? Or does she take a leap of faith on a love that feels terrifyingly real but comes with no guarantees? With her heart and Hannah's future hanging in the balance, Jo must decide whether to rewrite the story of her past or turn the page toward an entirely new ending.
When We Found Us is a small-town, forced proximity, found family romance.
