Some love warms like sunlight. Some love pulls you in like the moon.

For as long as she can remember, Stella Harper’s heart has reached for Brayden Evans—her childhood best friend, the boy who felt like summer itself. Warm, golden, and always just out of reach. To love him was to grow up chasing brightness, even when it left her burned.

But when Brayden moves back home after his mother’s death—this time with his quiet, unreadable stepbrother Ronan—everything Stella thought she understood about love begins to shift.

Brayden is the memory she can’t untangle.
Ronan is the calm she never expected.
And Stella is caught in the gravity of both.

As old feelings resurface and new ones spark, Stella must navigate the fragile space between who she was and who she’s becoming. Along the way, she’ll confront the truths she’s avoided, the trust she’s lost, and the moments that don’t just haunt you—they shape you.
