Love brought them together… Will fate tear them apart?

After spending every waking minute digging himself out of poverty, Ethan Segal’s life is finally starting to look up. He’s young, about to land the job that will secure his future, and living with his girlfriend in one of the most desirable cities in the world. But when his father passes away after an arduous battle with cancer, Ethan’s life grinds to a halt. As solitude settles like dust over his once-coveted life, he longs for something, anything, to pull him out of his grief.

But everything changes when he meets Hilli, and as their eyes lock for the first time, he knows without a shred of doubt that she is his one and only. While they fall in love, Hilli leads Ethan on a dazzling journey of intimacy. From caravanning across Australian beaches to Mexican retreats that cleanse the soul, Ethan witnesses the marvels of life while confronting his own fears of loss and regret. He knows Hilli is the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with, but Ethan also knows there is something she is hiding, a secret, that makes him feel unease.

But, as it turns out, Hilli holds fears of her own, ones she is hesitant to share even with Ethan. Which is why she can never be what Ethan wants her to be. And it is why, eventually, she will have to leave.

Heartfelt, raw, and emotional, Before You Leave explores the powerful human drama of love and loss, perfect for fans of Amanda Prowse and Nicholas Sparks.
