She says yes to a relationship with an expiration date. Then the date starts to move.
Nina Calloway makes a living telling people which beautiful ideas won't survive. Hired to assess the Calder, a crumbling Hudson Valley railway hotel a foundation is desperate to save, she expects weak numbers and an overly sentimental photographer.
Theo Bennett, the documentary photographer building the Calder's campaign, expects a consultant who reduces everything to a spreadsheet. What they find instead is the best argument either has had in years.
But Theo has already accepted a year-long assignment overseas, and Nina has a partnership waiting in Boston. So when the attraction wins, they set honest terms: no promises, no sacrifices, no asking the other to stay. It is the safest plan either of them has ever made.
Then the calendar changes, the rules stop working, and the real obstacle comes into focus. It was never distance. It is that two capable, independent people would rather solve the future alone than let anyone else into the decision.
The Distance Between Yes and Goodbye is a slow-burn contemporary romance for adult readers, about ambition, uncertainty, and the difference between planning for someone and planning with them. It is a standalone with a satisfying happily ever after.
