Some stories don’t begin with a spark. They begin in the wreckage. Blakelyn Walker came to Juniper Falls with nothing but a new job and the hope that silence could save her. Gruene Cavanaugh has spent six years surviving the same river that took everything from him—his wife, his daughter, and the man he used to be. They’re neighbors. Strangers. Two broken hearts pressed too close together on the edge of the same water. She isn’t looking for love. He doesn’t believe he deserves it. But something lives in the space between grief and want … between what’s safe … and what still hurts . And sometimes, the most unexpected love stories are the ones written from the scars . The Space Between is an angsty, love after loss adult romance. Those with sensitivities to loss of life, domestic abuse (mental/physical/intimate), mental anguish, questioning self-worth, and self-sabotage should proceed with caution.
