[Best enjoyed after Book 1, coming out on Audible ~March 06, currently on Netgalley] (https://www.netgalley.com/publisher/title/800683)

The sequel to Laurelhurst, this contemporary sapphic romance follows two women rebuilding closeness after months of separation. When a military deployment ends, what begins as a reunion becomes something deeper — a slow, tender reckoning with love, distance, and the possibility of a shared future.

Set between Seattle, Maui, and the Midwest, the story moves through quiet moments: kitchens at dusk, long drives, family dinners, and the charged intimacy of returning to one another’s bodies.

Character-driven and emotionally rich, this is a romance about trust, devotion, and the quiet courage it takes to let someone stay.
