After pulling his sixteen-year-old sister, Alex, out of an unsafe home, Detective Jay Halstead is determined to give her life stability. But building a family isn't as simple as moving to a new apartment. Alex has spent years surviving on her own, and trusting Jay - really trusting him - doesn't come easy. Jay, protective to a fault, struggles to balance giving her space with keeping her safe.
As they navigate the growing pains of their new reality, old wounds resurface, tempers flare, and the road ahead feels anything but smooth. But one thing is certain: neither of them is going anywhere.
The Long Road Home is the sequel to The Long Haul, and while you could jump in here, you'll get the full weight of their journey by reading the first story.
