5 Starting Over Romance Trope Books
The "starting over" romance trope features protagonists who relocate to a new town, city, or country, often following a major life change like a career shift or personal loss. This narrative typically explores how the fresh environment provides an opportunity for new beginnings, personal reinvention, and the unexpected discovery of love when the protagonist is focused on building a new life rather than finding romance.
