Seventeen-year-old Harli has spent her entire life dancing around one rule: never get close to her brother's best friend, Cal. From childhood teasing to stolen glances across the backyard, the attraction between them has been simmering for years-but Ethan's protective streak kept it strictly off-limits. Now, back home from school for the summer, Harli can't ignore the magnetic pull she feels toward the charming, dangerous Cal-especially now that he's changed in ways she can't quite define. As they clash, banter, and navigate small-town chaos, Harli finds herself drawn into a web of tension, humor, and heartbreak. With childhood rules, accidental touches, and a hint of danger swirling around them, she must decide whether some rules are meant to be broken... or whether giving in could be the most thrilling risk of all. A slow-burn, forbidden romance full of humor, nostalgia, and irresistible tension, The Space Between Then and Now explores what happens when childhood crushes grow into something too powerful to ignore. *in early development* *first story be nice*
