The space between

Freya-ann Kensington is content with her quiet life at the stables, surrounded by horses, her protective family, and a good group of friends. She's never expected to cross paths with Atlas Rome Bedford, the brooding best friend of her older brother, Finley. When Atlas unexpectedly returns to town, the last thing Freya expects is for him to stick around-let alone become her friend.

At first, their encounters are filled with awkward tension, but as Atlas starts hanging out more at the stables and spending time with Freya, their friendship blooms in the most unlikely way. He's grumpy, sarcastic, and hard to read, but somehow, they find common ground, and the more they get to know each other, the deeper the connection becomes.

But just when Freya starts to realize that maybe there's more to Atlas than meets the eye, life throws them a curveball. Old wounds, distance, and the weight of unspoken feelings drive a wedge between them, and they're left as strangers once again. Will their once-promising friendship turn into something more-or is the rift too deep to mend?
