The Distance Between Storms

(2026)
A novel by

 
 
He left her once without a word.

Lena Hart built her life on control—long ER shifts, emotional distance, and never needing anyone enough to be left behind again. But when her world in the city collapses, she’s forced back to Seabrook Point… and into the crumbling Victorian house her grandmother left behind.

Right next door lives the one man she never wanted to see again.

Owen Mercer.

Her first love.
Her first heartbreak.
The man who disappeared fifteen years ago and never explained why.


Now he’s back—stronger, quieter, carrying storms of his own as a rescue captain pulling people from the worst nights of their lives. And somehow, no matter how hard Lena tries to keep her distance, the ocean—and the past—keep dragging them together.

Power outages.
Midnight rescues.
A house that won’t stop falling apart.
And a truth neither of them ever faced.


Because the night Owen left…
Lena lost more than just him.


As brutal storms roll in and old wounds resurface, Lena and Owen are forced to confront the history that shattered them—and the undeniable pull that still remains.

But some love stories don’t survive the first storm.

The question is… can theirs survive a second?
