Six weeks after leaving Craighead, Nora Callahan is back — and this time, she's not here to sell anything. She's here because of midnight texts, phone calls that became something she still doesn't have a word for, and a man who made her dinner and didn't ask for anything in return. Eli Ardmore knows how to wait. He's spent five years learning. But waiting is different when the person you're waiting for has a career in New York, a case that could free an innocent man, and seventeen reasons something can't work before she finds one reason it can. Now Nora has to figure out how to want two things at once — and Eli has to decide how long a man can hold still before holding still becomes its own kind of leaving. Enter Wren Ardmore, who has strong opinions, zero filters, and absolute confidence that Sunday dinner solves most problems. And Thomas Ardmore, who built this town with his hands and knows exactly what it costs to wait too long. The Distance Between Us is the second book in the Ardmore Series — a story about love that's real enough to be inconvenient, and the courage it takes to stop deciding and start choosing. less

She runs the family landscaping business, cares for her recovering father, keeps the peace between a brother who left and a town that remembers — and she has not taken a full day off since her mother died. Wren doesn't complain about this. Wren doesn't have time to complain. Owen Caldwell shows up on a Tuesday with opinions about her drainage plan. He's an architect. He's wrong about the solution and right about the grade, and when she tells him so, he concedes without drama. He brings her coffee on Thursday and doesn't make a scene when he guesses wrong. She's noticed this. She wishes she hadn't. Wren has spent years being indispensable to everyone else. Owen is the first person in a long time who seems more interested in what she needs than in what she can do for him — and that is far more unsettling than anything else about him. What Remains is the final book in the Ardmore Series — a story about the woman who never asked for help learning that being loved isn't a burden. It's a choice she gets to make too. less
