The Things That Came Between Us

By Justin T. Eller

Sometimes a second chance is the one that matters most.

Blake finds his future at college, and her name is Allison, the perceptive PR major who stirs his soul. When his best friend, Kurt, falls for her roommate, Kate, Blake can't imagine the stars aligning more perfectly.

But promise quickly turns cruel.

Allison abruptly disappears, and Blake learns she's battling a mental health disorder. Her return brings distance, uncertainty, and the fear he's already lost her. Reeling, Blake spends a impulsive night with Kate, and the fallout from the resulting pregnancy forces desperate decisions.

Blake and Kate elope. Allison seeks solace with Kurt.

Only years later do narcissism, addiction, and betrayal finally reveal an undeniable truth: Blake and Allison married the wrong people.

When destiny brings them back together, wary and bruised, Blake and Allison must confess the love they buried, repair the bond they never meant to break, and forgive their younger selves, who didn't know any better.

But are healing and happiness truly possible-or will the truth they've never faced destroy them all over again?

Set against the dramatic Northern California coast, The Things That Came Between Us blends romance, sharp humor, and emotional turmoil into a timeless story about embracing hard-won lessons and daring to start over.
