A New Adult / Coming-of-Age Romance
ONE SECRET. THREE THOUSAND MILES. TWO HEARTS ON THE VERGE OF GOODBYE.
Peyton has her sights set on the neon glare of Manhattan, trading quiet mornings for the high-stakes pulse of a fast-paced journalism career. Meanwhile, Kyle is staying behind, working to build a future from blueprints and balsa wood in the dry Nevada heat as his world slowly unravels.
They thought distance was the only thing standing between them.
They were wrong.
Bound by a final heirloom in a red velvet box, a legacy of quiet secrets, and years of unspoken history, Peyton and Kyle find themselves forced to confront the growing distance between them. As the pressure mounts and the reality of adulthood sets in, they must determine if their love is strong enough to withstand the weight of who they are becoming-or if some foundations are destined to break.
Tone: Emotional, grounded, and realistic. No fluff-just the raw euphoria and jagged heartaches of growing up.
