Every Yard Between Us

She came back to close things out. She didn't plan to stay.

Nora Keane returns to Harlow Falls to settle her late father's physical therapy practice-six months, she tells herself. Long enough to handle the paperwork, find a buyer, and go back to the life she built somewhere else. She doesn't come back for the town. She doesn't come back for old memories. She certainly doesn't come back for Dean Calloway.
Dean is Harlow Falls High School's head football coach-twelve years in, four winning seasons, and a shoulder injury he's been managing alone for two years because managing things alone is what he does. When the team physician finally runs out of patience and sends him to Nora's clinic, Dean shows up the way he shows up for everything: on time, cooperative, and completely guarded.
Their sessions are professional. The progress is real. And the conversation that starts in room two doesn't stay there.
Built in the steady rhythm of twice-weekly appointments, Tuesday evenings at the Millbrook Diner, and a town too small for useful distance, Every Yard Between Us is a slow-burn romance about two private people being made visible to each other-and what happens when the thing you've been compensating for finally gets treated correctly.

Clean, closed-door romance. No cliffhangers. A full, satisfying love story in a town worth staying in.

Perfect for fans of Denise Hunter, Becky Wade, and small-town romance with emotional depth and community warmth.
