Welcome to Brighthead, Maine, a coastal town where the runners are fast and the summers are slow.
Charlotte lands in Brighthead with the excuse that she's house-sitting for her aunt, but in reality she's escaping a broken engagement. Six weeks before her intended wedding, she discovered her ex was cheating. Alone in a coastal mansion with a border collie who's equal parts smart and energetic, Charlotte turns to the only person she remembers from her childhood summers: Brandon, the gardener's son.
Brandon offers to take the dog for morning sprints. And Charlotte, too. She agrees because he's sweet. He's always been sweet.
Brandon's about to get fired from his desk job because they're taking advantage of him. The gym wants him to design a free logo for their trail run to the lighthouse, and everyone's telling him not to do it. His freelance work alone isn't going to pay the bills, though—and it's certainly not going to pay for romantic dinners with the rich gal from Philadelphia. The more time he spends with Charlotte, though, the more he realizes how much they have in common despite the economic differences: their art, their goals, their loyalty. Soon they're inseparable, but Brandon knows Charlotte can't stay. Her future lies in a city full of museums, and his is on the coast.
When Charlotte's ex tracks her to Brighthead, her past collides with her dreams. He's sorry, and he wants her back. Meanwhile, Brandon's getting weird and awkward about the money. Looming over them all is the lighthouse run and a world that seldom understands the heart of an artist.
A Tease and a Trail Run takes a pair of friends through an obstacle course of grief and memories, fear of success and fear of failure, from their shared memories to the dream of a shared life together.
The road to love isn't always paved.
Maddie Evans is a runner and biker. She lives in New England with her family and tropical fish, and she's always thought warm hearts are the perfect antidote to cold winters.
