He hides behind sarcasm and sketchbooks. She hides behind lip gloss and a razor-sharp smile.
Carver Hayes is the kind of guy who doesn't get close - to people, to rules, to anything that might see the cracks in his armor. Most of his classmates think he's just another smart-mouthed burnout. And that's exactly how he likes it.
Ashlyn Sinclair has spent her whole life playing perfect - perfect grades, perfect clothes, perfect lies. But behind the polished surface is a girl unraveling under the weight of expectations she never asked for.
When the two are forced into each other's orbit, the tension hits first - sharp, immediate, undeniable. What comes next is harder to explain.
Because some people break you open.
And some people teach you how to survive the wreckage.
Lines Between Us is a slow-burn, dual POV romance packed with sarcasm, emotional scars, and enough chemistry to set fire to every rule they've been told to follow.

Clyd Nicholai Lazaro has always lived a life of order-predictable, comfortable, and safe. Thirty-three, successful, and quietly content, he never imagined that one person could turn his carefully structured world upside down.

She doesn't belong to anyone, yet somehow, she captures everything Clyd didn't know he was missing. When their paths cross, the connection is instant-but complicated. Between them, there are no promises, no labels, no guarantees. Just moments that feel electric, magnetic, and dangerously addictive. As desire and emotion grow, Clyd and Lia navigate the thin line between friendship and something more-testing boundaries, risking hearts, and discovering that sometimes, love doesn't need a name. "Between Us: No Labels" is a slow-burn, contemporary romance about two people learning to surrender to feelings they can't control, in a world that insists on rules they're not willing to follow.
