I came to Hallow’s End to start over. Falling in love wasn’t part of the plan.

Tucked away in a quiet cottage with a paintbrush in my hand, I can finally breathe. No boardrooms, no expectations–just a cozy, charming small town where I can be myself. It’s the perfect place for a fresh start.

Then, I meet Ethan. A steady, kind-hearted teacher who starts to feel like home. Watching him care for his little sister, I begin to feel like maybe I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.

But when my toxic ex resurfaces, determined to pull me back into the life I left behind, I have to make a choice. Will I return to my old life…or am I brave enough to choose myself and the future I can see for myself?

Perfect for fans of Pumpkin Spice Café, Virgin River, and Practical Magic.

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!
