A Light Between Us

She's glitter, gossip, and heart. He's grit, silence, and scars. They were never meant to fall in love-but Bayshore Cove has other plans.

Rosie Delgado runs the town's beauty salon-and half its emotional triage. With her signature sparkle and endless kindness, she's the heartbeat of Bayshore Cove's recovery effort after the wildfires. But being the one everyone leans on doesn't leave much room for anyone to lean on her.

Sheriff Tom Langston prefers things quiet, orderly, and unspoken. He's a man of service, not sentiment-and definitely not a match for the dazzling chaos that is Rosie. But when they're assigned to co-lead the town's rebuilding project, porch repairs turn into late-night coffees... and the slow kind of love that changes everything.

He fixes her railing. She fixes his coffee. Somewhere in between, they start to fix each other.

But Rosie's not used to being loved without performance. And Tom? He's spent a lifetime keeping his heart locked down. To build something lasting, they'll have to do more than heal the town. They'll have to heal themselves.

A Light Between Us is a slow-burn, grumpy/sunshine clean romance filled with quiet hope, deep trust, and small gestures that mean everything.
