Between the Lines

Liam Hart runs a small, cozy bookstore  — a haven for anyone looking to lose themselves in words and warmth. His life is simple, steady… and safe.

That is, until Ethan Rhodes walks in.

Once a bestselling author, Ethan is now a man in hiding — from the spotlight, from a scandal that destroyed his career, and from the world that turned its back on him. When a chance storm forces him to seek refuge in Liam's store, neither man expects it to become the beginning of something real.

What starts as friendly conversation over coffee turns into late nights of shared pages and quiet understanding. But when Ethan's past resurfaces, threatening to destroy the fragile peace they've built, both must decide what love really means — to stay, to believe, and to begin again.

Set against the backdrop of small-town charm and literary magic, Between the Lines is a tender, slow-burn gay romance about vulnerability, trust, and the healing power of being seen for who you are — and loved anyway.
