Publisher's Synopsis
After a public controversy disrupts his career, Jordan retreats to a distant island, hoping to escape the chaos of his life and career in Washington, D.C., and find clarity.
But what begins as a journey of solitude takes an unexpected turn when he meets a young pharmacist, Mia, who challenges his assumptions about himself and awakens his longing for genuine connection, something he had neglected for the sake of his career. Early in their bond, a revelation forces Jordan to pull away from Mia, leading him to Ana, a skilled barista he turns to in hopes of silencing his attraction for Mia. To make sense of his deepening attraction, Jordan turns to his therapist for guidance as he finds himself at a crossroads: should he embrace the unknown or retreat to the safety of the familiar? Meanwhile, he faces a professional dilemma that tests his integrity-one that could redefine the course of his life. Beyond the First Glance is a compelling story of love and the principles it demands we uphold.
