Some stories change your life. Some help you rebuild it.
After ten years in a toxic relationship, Sadie Reed is done being anyone’s cautionary tale. By day she edits other people’s stories, polishing their words and pushing their dreams forward, while quietly abandoning her own. So when she’s offered one impossible assignment, fly to a quiet English village and convince reclusive bestselling author Corbyn Pearce to finish the novel he’s been avoiding, she says yes.
Corbyn is brilliant. Corbyn is infuriating.
Corbyn is absolutely not interested in being “handled.”
Scarred by a tragic accident and locked behind walls he refuses to lower, he has driven away every editor sent his way, until Sadie. Their clash is immediate, electric, and laced with a spark neither of them expected.
But as creative battles turn into late-night confessions, old wounds resurface, hers from the man she escaped and his from the betrayal he never recovered from. And when a long-buried truth pulls them back to a single, unforgettable moment from their past, Sadie must decide:
Is she brave enough to rewrite her story?
And will Corbyn choose to be part of it?
Between the Lines is a heartfelt, slow-burn romance about healing, found family, the courage to trust again, and the love we are meant to find, no matter how many years it takes. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Carley Fortune, and emotional, character-driven love stories.
