The Space We Built

Seven years ago, Emily Carter left Brattleboro believing she had no reason to stay.

She loved Jake Thompson for most of her life. But when she needed him to fight for her, he let her go. Emily moved to Boston, built a career, and learned how to keep the past where it belonged.

Then her mother decides to sell the house Emily grew up in.

And Jake is there.

Restoring the old house brings them back into each other's lives-and forces them to confront the night that tore them apart. Jake finally has the chance to tell Emily what really happened. Emily has to decide whether the life she built in Boston is still the life she wants.

This time, they don't fall back into each other's arms by accident. They choose to try again.

They build something slowly: trust, a home, a future, and a love that feels different when both people are finally willing to stay.

Then Jake receives devastating news.

Suddenly, the future they have begun to imagine is no longer certain.

THE SPACE WE BUILT is a heartfelt contemporary second-chance romance about two people learning that love isn't about knowing what comes next. It's about choosing what matters while you still can.

For readers who love emotional romance, second chances, small-town settings, complicated characters, and love stories that stay with you long after the final page.
