Between Then and Now

It was supposed to be a fresh start. But the past doesn't like being left behind.

I came to Hallow's End to escape. To breathe. To finally be free of the expectations that have been crushing me for years. No deadlines, no boardrooms, no pretending to be someone I'm not. Just me, my paint-stained hands, and a quiet little cottage tucked away from the world.

And then there's Ethan.

Steady, rugged, and good with his hands. The kind of man who doesn't just walk into your life-he roots himself there, making it impossible to imagine a world without him in it. Watching him with his little sister, seeing the way he cares without hesitation, I start to wonder if maybe I was meant to find him.

But when the past comes knocking, I'm left with a choice-run again... or face it head on.

And if I do, I might lose the only man who's ever made me feel safe.

Between Then and Now is a small-town, slow-burn romance with all the heart-melting moments and swoon-worthy tension you crave-plus a green flag hero who knows exactly how to make a girl want to stay. HEA guaranteed!
