The Space Between Us: A Millbrook Falls Novel - Book Two

By Ava Monroe

Some people are worth waiting for.

Even if it takes eleven years.

Lily Chen has spent years building a life she loves.

Her bakery is thriving.

Her friends are family.

Her future feels certain.

What she doesn't have is a relationship that lasts.

After one heartbreak too many, Lily begins to question whether she's been searching for love in all the wrong places.

Cole Bishop has always been there.

Her best friend.

Her safe place.

The person who shows up every single time.

For eleven years, Cole has quietly loved Lily without expecting anything in return.

He's never pushed.

Never crossed the line.

Never risked the friendship that means more to him than anything else.

But lately, something has changed.

A look held too long.

A moment that lingers.

A question neither of them can ignore forever.

As autumn settles over Millbrook Falls and old feelings begin to surface, Lily and Cole must decide whether the friendship they've built is enough-or whether the greatest love story of their lives has been waiting in front of them all along.

A heartwarming friends-to-lovers romance full of small-town charm, slow-burn tension, found family, and a hero worth waiting for.

Perfect for readers who love emotional romance, loyal book boyfriends, and happily-ever-afters that feel earned.
