The Lines We Crossed

Evangeline never planned on coming home. She definitely didn't plan on staying.

But when Evie inherits her grandmother's house, grief leaves her with more questions than answers, and a renovation she has no idea how to handle. So her father sends in the one person he trusts to help: his best friend, Mark Bennett.

Mark is steady where Evie is impulsive. Controlled where she is reckless. He knows how to fix almost anything, and more importantly, he knows exactly where the boundaries are supposed to be.

Evie has never been particularly good with boundaries.

What begins as long days spent restoring an old house slowly turns into lingering looks, arguments that feel a little too charged, and quiet moments neither of them knows how to explain. Mark knows better than to want her. Evie knows wanting him could change everything.

But somewhere between grief, sawdust, late nights, and all the things they refuse to say, the lines begin to blur.

And once they cross them, there may be no going back.

The Lines We Cross is a slow-burn, forbidden romance about grief, healing, undeniable chemistry, and two people who were never supposed to become each other's undoing.
