In All the Years Between
A Novel by Kaylee Plunkett
Lena Vale never believed in second chances-not with the kind of past she had. Fiercely independent and quietly haunted, she's spent years building walls high enough to keep even her own heart at bay. Then Jax Maddox walks back into her life-a man with ocean-blue eyes, a crooked smile, and a history that runs parallel to her own.
They were just kids when they first met, thrown together by fate and torn apart by time. What follows is a journey across the years-moments missed, words left unsaid, and the quiet ache of what could have been. But as grown-ups, Lena and Jax find themselves standing at the edge of something real again.
Told through fragments of memory and present-day encounters, In All the Years Between is a deeply emotional love story about timing, healing, and the invisible thread that binds two souls no matter the distance-or the years-that pass.
