Series: Wren Cove #1
Publication date: June 12th, 2026
Synopsis:
Some loves are like the stars, brilliant for a time, but doomed to burn out in the end.
London Voss was the girl who couldn't wait to get out of town, and that's exactly what she did. At 18, she left behind her small-town coastal life, her overprotective family, ad the boy who loved her too much to stand in the way of her dreams. But seven years later, her big city plans of dancing for The New York City Ballet have fallen apart, and having exhausted all other options, she's forced to return home.
Wren Cove has changed a lot in her absence. The people. The places. And most notably, Penn Kade. The reckless boy she left behind is now the responsible, stone-faced man running his late father's fishing company. He's reliable, successful, and even more handsome than she remembered.
He's also not exactly thrilled to see her again.
When London takes a temp job as his company's bookkeeper to make ends meet, she and Penn are forced to put aside their differences and try to work together. But some things are simply easier said than done. Especially when old feelings start to resurface...
The Distance Between Stars is a standalone, small town, second chance romance.
