About the Books

Between the Lines

Between the Lines is a tender, slow-burn contemporary romance about healing, found family, and the courage to reclaim your voice.


Sadie Reed never imagined she’d be thirty-two and starting over from scratch. After leaving a long-term relationship that slowly broke her spirit, she pours her days into editing other people’s stories—lifting their words, their dreams—while quietly burying her own. When she’s asked to travel to a quiet English village to help reclusive bestselling author Corbyn Pearce finish his long-overdue manuscript, she sees it as a chance to breathe again.


Corbyn is brilliant, infuriating, and determined to keep everyone at a distance. Scarred inside and out by a terrible accident, he’s built his world around silence and solitude—until Sadie walks into it. What begins as a battle of wills soon unravels into late-night conversations, creative sparks, and a connection neither expected.


But when the past resurfaces for both of them—hers in the form of old wounds and his in the form of a forgotten moment that ties them together—their fragile peace is tested.


As Sadie learns what it means to write her own future, she must decide whether she’s brave enough to trust her heart again… and whether Corbyn belongs in its pages.


Perfect for readers who love grumpy x sunshine, healing romance, emotional depth, and cozy British village settings.
